ITF Rungg: South Tyroleans fail at the start

On Tuesday, almost all games had to be postponed to Wednesday due to rain, which led to a busy program. Sebastian Brzezinski kicked things off in the morning. The 17-year-old from Bolzano was unlucky and faced number 1 seeded Italian Francesco Forti in the first round. The world number 2. from Cesenatico lived up to its role as favorite and was able to assert itself 409:1, 18:6 after 4:6 hours of play.

“With a bit of luck there would have been more” Sebastian Brzezinski “I knew I would have a really hard time today. Forti is a strong player, but with a little more luck perhaps even more could have been achieved,” says Brzezinski’s analysis. The man from Bolzano and Thomas Thaler from Terlan had to bow to the Italian duo Maurizio Speziali and Giuseppe Tresca 5:7, 4:6 at the doubles opener.

In the early afternoon it was Moritz Trocker's turn. But even for the 19-year-old from Völs, who celebrated his comeback after his knee operation at the end of May, there was nothing to gain against the Czech Tomas Machac, number 5 in the tournament and 366 in the world. Trocker lost the first set without a chance with 0:6, in the second he held up a little better, but still lost out in the end with 2:6.

The third South Tyrolean in the main field, the 18-year-old Brixen surprise man Pietro Orlando Fellin, met the Argentinian Facundo Diaz Acosta (ATP 625) of the same age after qualifying. Fellin, who trains and lives in Monza, had to admit defeat to Diaz Acosta in two sets 4:6, 1:6 after almost an hour and a half of play.

The man from Brixen and Horst Rieder from Völs also played doubles in the late afternoon. The South Tyroleans were 1:6 behind against the French Benjamin Bonzi/Maxime Mora before the match had to be interrupted due to rain and postponed to Thursday. The double match between Moritz Trocker and Georg Winkler has yet to be played. Golubev confidently made it to the round of 16 For the most part, there were no surprises in Rungg. The Kazakh and former number 33 in the world, Andrey Golubev, beat the Frenchman Maxime Mora 6:4, 6:4 in the first round. Last year's winner Pietro Rondoni eliminated the Spaniard Pol Toledo Bague in two sets at the start. Bolzano winner Riccardo Balzerani, number 8 on the seeding list, clearly had the upper hand in the all-Italian duel against Adelchi Virgili 6:2, 6:2. The number 7 seeded Frenchman Maxime Chazal shot down the Italian Lorenzo Rottoli 6:1, 6:1. Rottoli had eliminated the two Völs Georg Winkler and Horst Rieder in the qualification. Qualifier Andrea Guerrieri caused the big sensation today: The Azzurro brought the Russian Alen Avidzba, number 3 in the tournament, to his knees 6:3, 7:5.
