Challenger Val Gardena: Seppi confidently into the quarter-finals - UPDATE

“It was a great game with many spectacular rallies,” was not the only enthusiastic tournament director Wolfgang Wanker. Seppi didn't start serving as strongly as in the first round and fell behind twice with a break in the first set. Dustow, who only brought 52 percent of the first balls into the field, was unable to capitalize on this and received the re-break to make it 1:1 and 4:4.

With four game wins in a row from 3:4 in the first to 1:0 in the second set, Seppi made the preliminary decision. Dustow equalized to 1:1, but with a 4:1 and 40:0 lead when Dustov was serving, the South Tyrolean could actually have decided the match in his favor. But the Uzbek came back and equalized to 5:5. Seppi had to improve again to avoid the third set. After the fifth break in an hour and a half, the match was over and the tournament's driving force was in the quarterfinals.

Seppi will face Frank Dancevic in the quarterfinals on Friday at 19 p.m The Canadian Frank Dancevic is the next opponent of the “Azzurro”. The number eight seed only needed 65 minutes to win his round of 6 match against Czech Jan Mertl 4:6, 2:19. Seppi's quarterfinal game is scheduled for 134 p.m. Seppi and Dancevic, currently number 2007 in the world (but already ranked 65th in 1), have played against each other twice in their careers so far. In the direct duels the score is 1:XNUMX.

Herbert and Brown also in the round of the last eight Pierre-Hugues Herbert, who eliminated former Val Gardena winner Michal Przysiezny in the first round on Wednesday, was twice a break behind against Fischer in the first set (0:2 and 3:5), but Herbert managed to do so after a double fault each time Break and thus the equalizer to 2:2 and 5:5. At 6:5, the Alsatian missed two set points, but clearly won the tiebreak with seven points in a row.

The second round was a clear affair for Herbert, who, after breaks in the first, third and fifth games, moved into the Val Gardena quarter-finals for the second time in a row, where he will face Rastaman Brown tomorrow, who finished the spectacular and exciting round of 53 against Huta Galung won thanks to a break in the tenth game of the third set after an hour and 4 minutes. Previously he had had to fend off two break points at 4:XNUMX.

Brown served to win the set at 5:4 in the first set, but lost the round after a poorly played tiebreak. In the second, the German with Jamaican roots had already led 5:2, missed a set point with a double fault at 5:4, but still managed to equalize the set after a break to make it 7:5.
