ITF Futures Bozen: Alexander Weis is in the round of 16

Cepellini eliminated Horst Rieder from Völs 7:5, 6:3 in the last qualifying round on Sunday. On Monday he had to admit defeat to his doubles partner Alexander Weis. The man from Bolzano secured the first set with 40:6 points in 2 minutes. In the second period Cepellini pulled away to 4:2, but Weis reacted promptly, played four games in a row and still won 6:4.

After Weis narrowly missed his first ITF quarter-finals in the last two weeks in Gubbio and St. Pölten, he now wants to move up to the top eight in Bolzano. But it will be very difficult, because with the number 2 seeded German Matthias Bachinger or the Dutchman Igor Sjsling, the Bolzano player will definitely have to deal with a former top 100 player in the round of XNUMX.

The remaining first-round matches on Monday were extremely exciting. They were all marathon games. Qualifier Federico Maccari defeated Francesco Ferrari 4:6, 6:3, 7:6(5) after almost three hours of play, Luca Pancaldi beat Italian young hopeful Jacopo Berrettini 2:22, 3:6 after 6:1 hours , 6:4 through and the Brazilian Bruno Sant'Anna eliminated Enrico Dalla Valle 7:5, 7:6(3) in just under two hours. The top seeded Briton Jay Clark retained the upper hand late in the evening against the Italian Jacopo Stefanini 6:4, 7:6(4).

Horst Rieder with the Swede Lindell in the doubles quarterfinals In addition to Weis, a second South Tyrolean, Horst Rieder, was in action in doubles on Monday. And the 20-year-old from Völs was also successful. In the first round, Rieder and the strong Swede Christian Lindell defeated the Italian duo Francesco Ferrari/Nicola Ghedin 1:11, 6:2 after 7:5 hours of play and moved into the quarter-finals.

Manfred Fellin from Brixen will play against Lindell, who is seeded number 3 in the singles and reached the semi-finals in Bolzano last year, on Tuesday. The remaining eleven first-round games will all be played on Tuesday.

Tennis fans can also see three South Tyroleans in doubles on Tuesday in Bolzano. Patrick Prader from Barbia and Philipp Köll from Merano will face number 3 seeds Jay Clark/Yosuke Watanuki (GBR/JPN), Weis will play with his today's opponent Cepellini against Jacopo Berrettini/Enrico Dalla Valle.
