ITF: Winkler, Hofer and Rieder are eliminated in the round of 16

The Völser Winkler only got his first ATP point yesterday. Today the 20-year-old South Tyrolean faced the Egyptian Issam Taweel. The player, who was born in Aleppo, Syria, is ranked 749th in the ATP rankings, is seeded number 7 in Cairo and has already won nine ITF doubles titles. Winkler got off to a dream start and clearly won the first set 6:1. The second period of the game, however, was very even until the score was 5:6. In the twelfth game, Taweel got the break to make it 7:5. Winkler was unable to recover from this shock. The Völser lost the third set 2:08 after 2:6 hours of play.

Verena Hofer, however, was eliminated in the round of 20 in Hammamet. The 8-year-old from Ortisei met number 4 seeded Brit Emily Arbuthnott. The match was even from the start. However, at 5:4, Hofer lost her service and thus also the first set with 6:6. In the second half of the game there was not a single break until the score was 6:4. In the tiebreak, the Val Gardena woman took the lead 3:5, but in the end had to narrowly admit defeat 7:XNUMX.

Another Völser, Horst Rieder, played in Antalya, Turkey, where he played the Russian Ilya Vasilyev, number 3, in the round of 4. Rieder lost the first set in the tiebreak by a narrow margin 7:6, but deservedly won the second set 4:5. There was nothing for Rieder to gain in the decisive third set. Vasilyev promptly moved ahead to 0-6 and won 1-XNUMX after almost three hours.
