ITF: Meliss and Winkler are in the Getxo main draw

Meliss from Kaltern was seeded number 5 in the qualification in Getxo, Spain, and clearly eliminated host Irati Urbaneja Salazar 6-0, 6-0 at the start yesterday. Today she also had the upper hand in the second, decisive round against compatriot Monica Cappelletti (WTA 813) in two sets 6:4, 6:4. Who Meliss, currently ranked 527th in the world rankings, will meet in the main field has to be drawn first.

Her teammate from TC Rungg, Georg Winkler, also made it into the main draw in Spain. The 22-year-old from Völs, number 4 on the seed list, knocked the Spanish wild card player Mikel Lopez Hernaez out of the competition 1:6, 3:6 in round 1, and today he also confidently defeated the Kenyan Sheil Kotecha, who is three years younger than him 6:2, 6:2.

South Tyrolean trio fails in Telfs The South Tyrolean trio Horst Rieder, Christian Fellin and Sebastian Brzezinski, however, were eliminated from qualifying for the $15.000 tournament in Telfs. The Völser Rieder lost the opening match in Tyrol against the Ukrainian Vitalii Shcherba in the super tiebreak with 4:6, 6:4, 7:10. Fellin from Brixen, who celebrated his ITF season debut in Telfs, failed in round 1 against the Swiss Nicolas Parizzia 1:6, 2:6. After the 2:6, 6:4, 10:8 opening win against host Philip Bachmaier, Bolzano's Brzezinski had to admit defeat to number 2 seeded Swiss Damien Wenger 3:0, 6:1 in round 6 today. Manfred Fellin pitches in Tabarka Manfred Fellin (ITF 868), Christian Fellin's older cousin, is already firmly in the main draw of the $15.000 ITF tournament in Tabarka. In Tunisia, the man from Brixen will face the Japanese qualifier Shunsuke Wakita in the starting round tomorrow, against whom he lost the only duel so far two years ago in Georgia with 3:6, 6:7(4).
