ITF Val Gardena: Verena Hofer in the round of 16, Saccani is eliminated

Verena Hofer got off to a better start against Kazionova. When the score was 2:2, she took serve from the Russian for the first time and then moved away to 4:2. The woman from Val Gardena then secured the first set with 6:4 points. In the second set, Kazionova countered, took a 5-1 lead and clearly won 6-3. In the third and decisive set, Hofer came up trumps again and used her second match point after 1:54 hours to make the final score 6-1. In the round of 6, Hofer will face her compatriot Ludmilla Samsonova on Wednesday, who won the Italian duel against Corinna Dentoni 2:6, 4:XNUMX on Monday.

Saccani is eliminated in the tiebreak of the third set Silvia Saccani, however, was unlucky. The 18-year-old from Gais, who was allowed to play in the main field thanks to a wild card from the organizer, met the Italian qualifier Serena Gugnali. Saccani won the first set 7:5, while Gugnali won the second set 6:3. In the third set, the woman from Pusteria was already leading 4-2 and also had a ball to make it 5-2, but Gugnali didn't give up and won the tiebreak 7-0 after almost three hours of play.

The remaining six first-round matches were extremely exciting on Monday. There were many marathon games, with number 3 seeded Italian Martina Caregaro (WTA 371) surprisingly having to admit defeat to Czech Katerina Vankova 7:6, 2:6, 3:6. The number 7, the Belgian Helene Scholsen, also had more trouble than expected against qualifier Lena Ruppert and won 6:2, 1:6, 7:6(5).

Czech Vendula Zovincova defeated Alena Formina in three sets 6:7(4), 6:2, 6:1. The Russian Alina Silich beat Giada Clerici 7:6(3), 6:0 and the German qualifier Franziska König benefited from the submission of the French Mallaurie Noel with a score of 6:2, 3:0. In addition, the Frenchwoman Camille Sireix won the qualifying duel against the Austrian Ema Vasic 7:6(4), 6:2.

On Tuesday, Brixen's Jeannine Hopfgartner (at 11.30 a.m.) will face the Italian Anna-Giulia Remondina, number 8 in the tournament and 541 in the world, as well as the 14-year-old young hope from Val Gardena, Laura Mair (from 18 p.m.) against Federica Di Sarra, number 659 in the world.
