Patrick Prader was eliminated after a class performance in Val Gardena

Although Prader is around 700 places behind Fischer in the world rankings (953 against 196), there was no sign of a class difference for a long time. On the contrary. Prader secured the first set with a break to 4:2. In the second round he caught up with a break after being 1:4 behind, then had to go into the third set, in which he even had two balls to take a 2-0 lead. Fischer ultimately made the decisive break to make it 2-1.

Michal Przysiezny fails due to Pierre-Hugues Herbert The Austrian will not face number two seed Michal Przysiezny from Poland in the round of 7 tomorrow, but Pierre-Hugues Herbert, who won the big game of the first round 6:3(7), 6:7(2010). The 59 Val Gardena winner, who has worked his way up the world rankings to 6th place after strong performances in recent weeks, was perhaps a little tired. Herbert showed a very strong performance. He proved that he is currently in good shape last week at the ATP Masters tournament in Paris-Bercy against Novak Djokovic when he only lost 7:3, 6:XNUMX.

Gabashvili and Mektic already in the quarterfinals The Czech Jan Mertl and the German Dustin Brown also made it into the second round today.

The Russian Teymuraz Gabashvili and the Croatian Nikola Mektic have already qualified for the quarter-finals. The number 5 seed Gabashvili, number 92 in the world, beat German Matthias Bachinger 3:6, 6:3, 6:2.

Qualifier Mektic, on the other hand, celebrated his fifth win in a row in Ortisei and defeated the Swiss Marco Chiudinelli 2:6, 6:3, 6:3.
