Moritz Trocker gets his first ATP point

At the beginning, Trocker played like a whole, while Aksu, who only got into the main field thanks to a wild card, had absolutely nothing coming together. After just under an hour of play, the Völser was already ahead 6:3, 4:0. Suddenly the Turk played big, won five games in a row and took the lead 5:4. A little later the second set had to be decided in a tiebreak, where Aksu had the better end with 7:2. In the third, decisive period of the game, Trocker promptly pulled away to 4-1 with an early break. Thus the Turk's resistance was broken. Three games later, Trocker won 6:2.

In the next round, the South Tyrolean will face his compatriot Davide Galoppini in his first round of 23 match on Thursday. The 632-year-old Italian is ranked 7nd in the ATP rankings and is seeded number 6 in Antalya. On Wednesday he knocked the Turks Haylaz out of the competition 3:6, 3:XNUMX.

Trocker will appear in the ATP rankings for the first time in the next few weeks. He is therefore the seventh South Tyrolean in the ranking, behind Andreas Seppi (ATP 91), Joy Vigani (ATP 972), Alexander Weis (ATP 1108), Horst Rieder (ATP 1523), Georg Winkler (ATP 1841) and Manfred Fellin (ATP 1975).

Melissa fails in doubles However, there was nothing to gain for Verena Meliss in the doubles in Antalya. The Kalterin and Irina Lapustina from Latvia met the Russian pairing Viktoria Kalinina/Daria Solovyeva in the first round, against whom they had to admit defeat 4:6, 4:6. Meliss is still in action in the singles on Thursday, where she will play in the round of XNUMX against another Russian, Ekaterina Vishnevskaya.
