ITF Bozen: Weis eliminated, Rieder in the doubles semi-finals

Bachinger is currently ranked 339th in the ATP rankings, but was number 85 in the world exactly six years ago. The match was very even at the beginning. The German promptly moved ahead to 4-1 with an early break, but Weis didn't give up and equalized to 4-4 a short time later. With the score at 4:5, the man from Bolzano was able to fend off two set points, but Bachinger converted the third to win the set 6:4. Weis was unable to recover from this shock. Bachinger made it 4:1 again and converted his first match point after 1:16 hours of play to make the final score 6:2.

In the quarterfinals on Thursday, Bachinger will face Antonio Massara, who narrowly won the Italian derby against number 6 in the tournament, Marco Bortolotti, 7:6, 7:5. Also eliminated on Wednesday was number 7, the German Tobias Kern, who missed three set points in the tiebreak of the first set against the Italian Balzerani and then lost 6:7, 1:6. Fellin conqueror Christian Lindell is waiting for Balzerani in the quarterfinals. The former Swedish Davis Cup player eliminated Federico Massari 6:4, 6:2. Top seed Jay Clarke had more trouble than expected. The 19-year-old Brit beat Luca Pancaldi in the third set 6:3, 1:6, 6:2 and will play against Kern in the quarterfinals on Thursday.

Rieder/Lindell in the doubles semi-finals The doubles quarter-finals were also played in Bolzano on Wednesday. Also there was Horst Rieder from Völs, who had to play with the Swede Lindell against the number 2 seeded Brazilians Wilson Leite/Bruno Sant'Anna. Rieder/Lindell showed a strong performance, secured the first set 6:4, but then lost the second set 4:6. After having to fend off a match point in the super tiebreak, they used their third match point to win 12:10. For Rieder it is the first ITF doubles semi-final in only his second appearance. The Völser secured his first ATP double point.

In the semi-finals on Thursday, he and Lindell will face the Italians Riccardo Balzerani/Corrado Summaria in the third game after 15 p.m. The two Italian pairings Federico Maccari/Giovanni Oradini and Jacopo Berrettini/Enrico Dalla Valle will contest the second semi-final.
