Meliss moves into the round of 16, Trocker is in the main field

While Sophie Walzl was eliminated in the first round of the main draw at the $15.000 tournament in Casablanca, Meliss made it to the round of XNUMX in Antalya. In Turkey, Moritz Trocker was also able to qualify for the main draw in the men's tournament today, but Winkler failed in the third, decisive qualifying round.

In her opening match in Antalya, the 20-year-old Meliss defeated the Turkish Cemre Anil, four years her senior, number 5 on the seed list and 800 in the world, after 1:52 hours of play, with a strong performance 7:5, 7:5. Meliss started the first set with a break and took a 2-0 lead, but then lost four games in a row. After she was able to fend off two balls to make it 2:5, she managed to equalize to make it 4:4. With the score at 6:5, the Kaltern native took her opponent's serve again and took the first set 7:5. In the second half of the game Anil even led 3:1 and 5:2, but Meliss countered again, won five points in a row and finally used her second match point to make the final score 7:5. In the round of XNUMX on Thursday, Meliss will face the winner of the match between the Russian Ekaterina Vishnevskaya and the Belgian Antje Rubbrecht. Verena Meliss will also play the doubles in Antalya, where she will meet the Russians Viktoriia Kalinina and Daria Solovyeva in the first round tomorrow with Latvia's Irina Lapustina.

Among the men, Moritz Trocker from Völs made it into the main field today. The 17-year-old defeated number 10 seeded Turk Kaya Gore (ATP 1560) 7:5, 6:2. Georg Winkler, however, was eliminated. He lost to German Kevin Kaczynski, number 8 in qualifying and 1527 in the world, 6:7, 1:6.

Walzl fails in Casablanca

There was also nothing to gain for Sophie Walzl in Casablanca. The Gargazonian had to admit defeat today to the number 4 in the tournament, Cristina Adamescu (WTA 695) from Romania, 47:1, 6:0 in just 6 minutes of play. Yesterday Walzl and the Swiss Laura Tinello were eliminated in the first round of the doubles against the Russians Victoria Kann/Maria Zotova, who were also number 4, 1:6, 0:6.
