ITF Ortisei: Local hero Laura Mair out

The only 16-year-old Mair, who was allowed to serve in the main draw thanks to a wild card, had to admit defeat to the number 4 seeded German Carmen Schultheiss (WTA 766) in two sets after 62 minutes of play, 3:6, 2:6 .

This means that with Verena Hofer there is only one South Tyrolean in the individual race. The 22-year-old local hero will meet Briton Anna Popescu, number 1184 in the world rankings, on Wednesday. At the start of Monday, Hofer eliminated the number 8 of the tournament, the Belgian Victoria Kalaitzis, in three sets. The Val Gardena native and Silvia Saccani from Gais, however, failed in their doubles opener on Tuesday evening against the “Azzurre” Matilde Mariani/Federica Trevisan in two sets with 3:6, 4:6.

The big surprise on Tuesday in Ortisei was caused by the Belgian qualifier Clara Vlasselär, who knocked the number 2 seeded Slovenian Veronika Erjavec out of the competition in three sets.

Crazzolara/Zwerger in the doubles quarterfinals In the doubles competition, however, things are going according to plan for the local players. After Sophie Walzl/Alessia Piccoliori secured their quarter-final ticket yesterday, another South Tyrolean duo made it into the top eight. In the pure South Tyrolean derby, Elisa Crazzolara from Val Badia and Greta Zwerger from Brixen brought the Rungger duo Lara Pfeifer/Vickie Trocker to their knees in the super tiebreak with 4:6, 6:1, 10:8.

In the quarter-finals on Wednesday they will face the number 2 seeded Czechs Klara Hajkova/Aneta Laboutkova. Walzl from Gargazon and Piccoliori from Ladin also face two Czechs, Nikola Breckova/Aneta Kladivova.
