ITF tournament “Alperia Trophy 2017” from Saturday in Bolzano

The tournament was presented on Wednesday by Bozen club president Paolo Bonvicini and tournament director Roland Sandrin, who is also vice president of the Italian association. Present were the mayor of Bolzano, Renzo Caramaschi, tennis regional director Richard Weißensteiner and CONI regional president Heinz Gutweniger.

After Kyle Edmund in 2013, a Brit could be on the list of winners of the Bolzano tournament again this year, as 19-year-old Jay Clark is going into the tournament as the top favorite. Clark is considered a great talent and is currently ranked 331st in the ATP rankings. Another player from the top 400 in the world is the Swede Christian Lindell (ATP 385), who made it to the semi-finals in Bozen last year. The 3-year-old German Matthias Bachinger is number 30 ahead of the Dutchman Igor Sijsling. Bachinger was in the Rungg final in 2010 and four years later he lost the final of the Challenger tournament in Val Gardena against Andreas Seppi.

Weis and Fellin in the peloton

Two South Tyroleans will also be in the main field thanks to a wild card. Alexander Weis from Bolzano was invited by the Italian association, Manfred Fellin, who was born in Brixen and now lives in Lombardy, by the organizer. Both had also qualified for the main draw last year, with Joy Vigani from Brixen, who is currently injured. Weis eliminated Samuele Ramazzotti 6:4, 6:4 in the first round, but then lost in the round of 2 against eventual tournament winner Jose Hernandez-Fernandez 6:1, 6:2, while Fellin lost in the opening round against Christian Carli 6:0, 6:XNUMX.

The South Tyroleans are likely to be represented in large numbers in the qualification. Horst Rieder from TC Rungg and most likely Patric Prinoth from Val Gardena will be there thanks to their world rankings, while Philipp Köll from Meran, who plays for TC Bozen, and the young Völser Moritz Trocker from TC Rungg will get a wild card. Erwin Tröbinger and Jonas Ciechi, both from TC St. Christina-Wolkenstein, are also still hoping for a starting place in the qualification.
