Black Tuesday: Five South Tyroleans eliminated in St. Christina

At the start, Manfred Fellin from Brixen met number 6 seed Argentinian Facundo Diaz Acosta (ATP 626). The South American had eliminated Fellin's younger brother Pietro Orlando in round 1 in Rungg just last week. On Tuesday he clearly had the upper hand against Fellin 6:2, 6:3. Moritz Trocker was also eliminated: The 19-year-old from Völs had to admit defeat to the Briton Toby Martin (ATP 739) in two sets with 2:2, 6:6(7).

So there are still 3 South Tyroleans in the main field. On Wednesday, the home team Patric Prinoth and Erwin Tröbinger (both wild cards) as well as Georg Winkler from Völs will take part in the tournament. At the start, Prinoth will face Rungg semi-finalist Andrea Guerrieri, against whom he lost 2:1, 6:4 in the qualification in Bolzano two weeks ago. Tröbinger will play against German Tim Heger, while Winkler was lucky in the draw and will face Italian qualifier Federico Campana.

Pietro Orlando Fellin and Christian Fellin from Brixen said goodbye on Tuesday. Both had to admit defeat in 2 sets in the 2nd qualifying round: Pietro Orlando Fellin lost against the number 4 seeded Italian Andrea Borroni (ATP 1418) narrowly 5:7, 4:6, Christian Fellin against the top seeded Austrian Sandro Kopp ( ATP 831) clear with 2:6, 1:6. However, Völser Horst Rieder had to give up against Brzezinski conqueror Andrea Picchione with a score of 1:6, 0:1 due to a shoulder injury.

Prinoth/Tröbinger in the double quarter-finals Good news comes from the double competition. The crowd favorites Patric Prinoth and Erwin Tröbinger qualified for the quarter-finals with a hard-fought 6:7(2), 6:2, 10:8 win against Nicola Rispoli and Paolo Dagnino (ITA) from Merano. There they will meet the winners of the match between the top seeds Marco Bortolotti/Wilson Leite and the South Tyrolean duo Sebastian Brzezinski/Horst Rieder.

Christian Fellin and the Dutchman Mick Veldheer had to admit defeat to the Austrian Sandro Kopp and Vital Flurin Leuch from Liechtenstein 2:6, 1:6. The Rungger duo Tobias Kirchlechner/Thomas Thaler was eliminated against Andrea Guerrieri/Maurizio Speziali with 2:6, 4:6, while the game between the Bressanone brothers Manfred and Pietro Orlando Fellin and the Italians Alessandro Coppini/Augusto Virgili ended at 2: 4 had to be canceled because of the rain and postponed to Wednesday.
