A historic tennis weekend

For the 2nd time in a row, the club from Girlan is among the top 2 clubs in Italy with 4 teams - what a success! We have collected all the details about this historic weekend for local tennis.

“That is actually unimaginable,” says team boss Manuel Gasbarri. “The gentlemen have really achieved something impossible. Last year we were a bit lucky, but this year we were perfect. Federico Gaio has put himself at the service of the team. It wasn’t necessarily to be expected that the women would make it to the semi-finals, even though Susan Bandecchi was out and Paula Ormaechea only played twice.” “That’s actually unimaginable.” Rungg team boss Manuel Gasbarri The women had an easier time than expected in Beinasco, a suburb of Turin. The hosts, who had already qualified for the play-offs, gave up two singles after a few minutes. Martina Spigarelli won against Federica Di Sarra after one game, Federica Rossi, Verena Meliss' opponent, didn't play any further after the 2-1 draw.

Barbara Haas lost against Giulia Gatto Monticone 2:6, 4:6. But Rungg was leading 2-1 and had already secured the draw needed to stay in second place before the doubles. Haas/Meliss had to admit defeat to Gatto Monticone and Giulia Pairone 2:2, 6:6 (7), but that no longer mattered. As group runner-up in District 6, Rungg will play in the semi-finals against the winner of Group A, Canottieri Casale. The first leg will take place on Sunday in Rungg, the second leg a week later on December 2th in Casale Monferrato (Alessandria).

The Rungger women's selection looks back on an extremely successful weekend.

The Rungger men achieved a feat on Sunday. They went into the last matchday as third in the group. Not only did they have to beat TC Italia (4:2), but they also needed help from Selva Alta against Junior Perugia (5:1).

Only on Thursday Rungg lost 2:4 against TC Italia in Forte dei Marmi. Yesterday the team of the Gasbarri brothers Manuel and Valerio turned the tables. Led by Federico Gaio. The world number 424. had been a sparring partner at the ATP Finals in Turin all week and played great yesterday, just like the entire championship. He not only won the top game against Stefano Travaglia after over 2 hours with 6:7 (4), 6:4, 6:2. He also scored the decisive 4th point in doubles with Marco Bortolotti, which gave Rungg victory.

But the rest of the team also delivered yesterday. Elmar Ejupovic equalized 6:3, 6:2 against Lorenzo Carboni to make it 1:1. Previously, Maximilian Figl couldn't do much against Walter Trusendi with 3:6, 0:6. Team player Georg Winkler’s 6:3, 3:6, 6:4 win against Marco Furlanetto was no less valuable. Rungg led 3-1 after the singles and didn't have to break up his strong doubles.
