Everything is prepared in Val Gardena

The 10th edition of the Sparkasse Challenger Val Gardena South Tyrol begins on Monday at 10 a.m. with the two qualifying games. On the Center Court in the morning, Marco Bortolotti and Francesco Forti will fight for a place in the main draw, with Aldin Sektic versus Petr Nouza on first place. A total of twelve matches are on the program on the first day of the largest tennis tournament in South Tyrol.

Prinoth and Tröbinger in action on Monday Twelve players from Italy are already in action, including the two local heroes Patric Prinoth and Erwin Tröbinger. Both have a difficult task. The 23-year-old Prinoth will face a former Val Gardena winner at 18 p.m. The Italian Stefano Napolitano won the tournament in Ortisei in 2016 and defeated Alessandro Giannessi in the final. Napolitano is number 230 in the world. Tröbinger then goes into the game as an outsider against 18-year-old Giulio Zeppieri, number 393 in the world rankings. Sinner makes his doubles debut Of course, the greatest attention in Val Gardena goes to Jannik Sinner. The newly crowned winner of the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan traveled to South Tyrol on Sunday and will play his opening doubles match on Tuesday at 18 p.m. But Sinner has a difficult task alongside Lorenzo Ferri, who is only 15 years old. Ferri/Sinner play against the number 2 seeded doubles Sander Arends/David Pel.

Sinner will make his singles debut on Wednesday evening. He will face the winner of the first round duel between the Austrian Lucas Miedler and Gian Marco Moroni from Italy, which is scheduled for Monday. Against Miedler he won both duels this year in Bergamo and Orleans in straight sets. He leads 1-0 against Moroni after a three-set win at the Challenger in Barletta in April.
