In the singles, however, the Val Gardena woman had to admit defeat to the German Anne Schäfer in the quarter-finals. Bolzano's Alexander Weis was also eliminated today in the round of 16 in Sharm El Sheikh against Dutchman Michiel De Krom.

For Verena Hofer it is already the 6th doubles final on the ITF tour. She has already won four tournaments, the last two months ago, also with Maria Vittoria Viviani, in Trieste. Today the two “Azzurre” prevailed in the semi-finals after an incredible comeback against the Croatian Noa Krznaric and the Swiss Andrina Peer with 3:6, 7:5 and 12:10. Hofer-Viviani were already behind 3:6, 2:5 and 30:40, but fended off their opponents' match point and then took the second set 7:5. In the super tiebreak, Hofer/Viviani used their fourth match point to win 12:10 after exactly two hours of play. In the final tomorrow, the 21-year-old from Ortisei and the 19-year-old from Lodi will face the top-seeded Italians Lucia Bronzetti/Anastasia Grymalska.

In the singles, however, Verena Hofer (WTA 702) was eliminated in the quarterfinals. After her clear opening victories against the Italians Irene Lavino and Giorgia Pinto, she was sent off today by the German Anne Schäfer (WTA 615) with 65:1, 6:3 in just 6 minutes of play.

Weis fails in the round of 16 Alexander Weis was also eliminated today in the round of 15.000 of the $835 tournament in Sharm El Sheikh. Weis (ATP 1118) had to admit defeat to the Dutchman Michiel De Krom (ATP 6), who had already eliminated Vigani from Brixen yesterday, 7:4(4) and 6:21. The 4-year-old from Bolzano took the lead 2:4 with a break in the first set, but De Krom immediately managed the rebreak to make it 4:3. Weis also moved ahead 0-4 in the tiebreak, but had to admit defeat 7-4. In the second half of the game, the Dutchman Weis took serve to make it 3:1, then fended off two break points from the Bolzano player in the tenth game and used his first match point after 39:6 hours of play to make the final score 4:XNUMX.
