ITF Schio: Verena Hofer is eliminated in the first round

Hofer had clearly lost to Torelli three years ago at a junior tournament in Sweden. On Tuesday too, the Val Gardena native missed the start of the match and was 1:3 behind, but was then able to equalize to make it 3:3. The game was then interrupted for four hours due to the rain and did not resume until the evening. With the score at 5:5, Torelli managed the decisive break, after which she won the first set with 7:5 points on her own serve. In the second period, Torelli initially pulled ahead to 4:1, but Hofer didn't give up and reduced the score to 3:4. But Torelli didn't let anything go wrong and used her first match point after 1:36 hours to win 6:3.
