ITF: Weis in the singles semi-finals in Cairo

This is the fourth time in his career that Weis has reached an ITF singles semi-final, having already reached the semi-finals twice this year in Tunisia and last year in St. Christina. The man from Bolzano is on a real run: Weis, who is currently ranked 686th in the ATP rankings, celebrated his third victory in Cairo on Friday. In Egypt he knocked out Pakistan's Muzammil Murtaza 6-0, 6-2 at the start and yesterday in the round of 6 he eliminated India's Dhruv Sunish 4-6, 3-4. In the quarterfinals on Friday, the South Tyrolean, number 1286 in the tournament, knocked the Italian Giovanni Calvano (ATP 6) out of the tournament 4:6, 2:XNUMX.

In the semi-finals on Saturday, Weis will face the Spaniard Jose Vidal Azorin (ATP 691), who was also his doubles partner this week. The top seeds from Bolzano and Vidal Azorin lost in the semifinals on Friday against number 4 seeds Dennis Uspensky (USA)/Bart Van den Berg (NED) in the super tiebreak with 6:1, 3:6, 7:10. For Weis it was already the 15th semi-final on the ITF tour, the fifth this season.

Rieder, Fellin and Meliss fail in Santa Margherita di Pula However, the three South Tyroleans Horst Rieder, Manfred Fellin and Verena Meliss were eliminated in Sardinia. The Völser Rieder had to admit defeat to Rungg club colleague Wilson Leite (ATP 25.000) from Brazil 549:1, 6:1 in the round of 6 of the $XNUMX tournament. Rieder receives one ATP point for reaching the round of XNUMX and will therefore appear in the world rankings again from next week.

Manfred Fellin was also eliminated in the round of 503 in Santa Margherita di Pula. The man from Brixen lost against top favorite Marco Bortolotti (ATP 3) 6:0, 6:1. Bortolotti had thrown Fellin's younger brother Pietro Orlando out of the competition 6-0, 6-4 in Round XNUMX yesterday.

In the women's tournament, the Kalterer wild card player Verena Meliss lost out against the Italian Camilla Scala (WTA 453) despite leading the set with 6:1, 3:6, 2:6. But Meliss is still in the race in doubles. The South Tyrolean and South African Zoe Kruger will face number 3 seeds Shou Feng (CHN)/Julia Payola (ESP) in the quarterfinals on Friday evening.
