ITF tournaments: Five South Tyroleans in the main field

In addition to Joy Vigani, 14-year-old Jannik Sinner also started the qualification in Bol. For the young talent from TC St. Georgen, however, it was the end of the game in the first round after a 0:6, 3:6 defeat against German number 13 David Novotny. Vigani, seeded at number 14, fought back after a 6:1, 7:6 (4) victory over the Croatian Franco Mandric, a 4:6, 7:5, 6:2 show of strength against the German Flemming Peters and a final 6:3, 6:4 win over the Swiss Stevan Labat into the main draw. In the first round of the singles, the 18-year-old from Brixen is waiting for the Chilean Cristobal Saavedra-Corvalan . In doubles, he and the Italian Mirko Cutuli will face the Dutch-Croatian duo Roy Sarut De Valik/Franjo Raspudic.

South Tyrol power in Sardinia On the Italian island, more precisely in Santa Margerita di Pula, Alexander Weis made it into the main field after victories against the “Azzurro” Michele Fois (6:3, 6:2) and Andrea Grazioso (via walkover). Simon Berger, on the other hand, failed in the second round of qualifying to number three seeded Italian Antonio Campo 6:7(3), 0:6. Berger had previously defeated his compatriot Simone Lombardi 6:1, 6:3. With Manfred Fellin, a second local tennis player is in the main draw of the $10.000 tournament. The Brixen native is there in Santa Margerita thanks to a wild card from the organizer. While Alexander Weis will face the German qualifier Moritz Dettinger in the first round, Manfred Fellin will face the number 8 of the tournament, Filippo Leonardi from Italy, at the start. The South Tyroleans look back on the start of the doubles tournament with one laughing and one crying eye. Simon Berger, alongside ManfredFellin, lost against the Germans Daniel Altmaier/Demian Raab 0:6, 1:6, while Alexander Weis and his partner Daniele Chiurulli achieved a 4:6, 6:4, 10:7 victory Filippo Leonardi/Michele Longo (Italy) the second round.

Also Ladurner and Hofer in the main field In the women's category, Jasmin Ladurner from Merano and Verena Hofer from Val Gardena, two other South Tyroleans, will be competing in Santa Margerita. While Ladurner was drawn against the Swiss qualifier Jessica Crivelletto at the start, Hofer faces the Italian Camilla Scala, against whom she recently lost out twice in a row. In the doubles, the two will meet the “Azzurre” Martina Di Giuseppe/Anna-Giulia Remondina, who are seeded number 4, in the first round.
