Santa Margherita: Sinner lives up to his role as favorite

The 17-year-old Sinner from Sexten, number 1 in the tournament and 322nd in the world, met the French qualifier Florent Bax in the starting round in Santa Margherita di Pula. Until the score was 6:6, both players served once each. In the tiebreak, Bax had the better end and was able to prevail, somewhat surprisingly, 7:4. In the second half of the game, Sinner managed the decisive break in the tenth game to win the set 6:4. Bax was unable to recover from this setback, while Sinner made short work of it in the third set and prevailed 6-0. In the round of XNUMX, the Pusterer will face the Frenchman Laurent Lokoli on Thursday.

In Sardinia, 21-year-old Alexander Weis from Bolzano played doubles at the start with Luigi Sorrentino in the all-Azzurri derby against Lorenzo Musetti/Giulio Zeppieri, where they benefited from their opponents' abandonment with a score of 6:4. On Thursday, Weis/Sorrentino will meet number 3 seeded Romanians Bogdan Apostol/Luca Tatomir. On Tuesday, Weis had already narrowly failed in three sets in the singles in round 1 against Fabrizio Ornago.

Fellin loses in Tunisia In Tabarka in Tunisia (15.000 dollars), Manfred Fellin was eliminated in his first round match. The man from Brixen only played three games against the French top favorite Geoffrey Blancaneaux, who is ranked 501 in the ATP world rankings and won the French Open junior tournament three years ago and lost 74:2, 6 after 1 minutes of play :6.

Georg Winkler, on the other hand, is in the double quarter-finals in Antalya. In Turkey, the Völser and his compatriot Luca Tomasetto eliminated Tomislav Jotovski (MKD)/Nitin Sinha (IND) in the super tiebreak in the opening round with 6:3, 5:7, 10:8. The number 4 seeded duo Yanfeng Li (CHN)/Valentin Vanta (ROU) awaits on Thursday.
