Fellin in Cairo in the round of 16, Trocker eliminated

Fellin met the Austrian Dominic Weidinger, number 1006 in the ATP rankings, in his first round match today. The 20-year-old from Brixen got off to a dream start and was already 19-5 ahead after 1 minutes. But Weindinger didn't give up, won four games in a row and even fended off two set points at 2:5 and 4:5. Fellin then countered with the break to 6:5 and then won the set with a lot of effort 7:5. The second period of the game was also very even, Weidinger ultimately prevailed in the tiebreak with 7:2 points. In the third, decisive set, Fellin set the tone again and won 3:33 after 6:4 hours of play. The Brixen native will now face another Austrian, Thomas Statzberger (ATP 510), number 5 in the tournament, in his second round of XNUMX match of the season in Hammamet at the beginning of February.

The Brixen player also played doubles with Alexander Weis from Bolzano in the afternoon. Fellin was successful here too. The two South Tyroleans beat the Polish duo Mateusz Kowalczyk/Lukasz Kozielski in the super tiebreak with 2:6, 6:3, 10:7 and are now playing against the top favorites from Poland, Karol Drzewicki/Szymon Walkow.

However, there was nothing to gain for Moritz Trocker. The 17-year-old from Völs, who only made it into the main draw thanks to a wild card from the organizers, had to admit defeat to the Ukrainian Oleksandr Bielinskyi (ATP 916) in two sets after 1:33 hours of play, 3:6, 4:6 .

Weis and Meliss play on Wednesday

Alexander Weis and Verena Meliss, who are also in the main draw in Cairo, will take part in the tournament tomorrow, Wednesday.
