Seppi's winning streak is broken

Unexpected defeat for Andreas Seppi. The 37-year-old from Kaltern, who returned to the top 100 in the world rankings after winning the title on Sunday, lost to German qualifier Matthias Bachinger (ATP 269) in two sets 2:3, 6:5. So Seppi's winning streak in Biella ends after 6 successes in a row. Just four days ago, the South Tyrolean celebrated his 4th title win on the Challenger Tour in Piedmont. Seppi came from the three-set opening win against the American Jack Sock. In the round of 10, Überetscher, seeded number 3, met Matthias Bachinger. The 33-year-old from Munich and Seppi have already faced each other twice in their careers. In 2014, Seppi had the better end of the Challenger final in Val Gardena, while Bachinger prevailed the year before in Rotterdam. Bachinger is no stranger to South Tyrol, after all, he won the ITF tournament in Bolzano in 2017 and reached the final in Rungg in 2010. Seppi, number 96 in the world rankings, and Bachinger each took the service twice until the score was 3:3. Shortly afterwards it was the German who broke Seppi again to make it 2:5. On his own serve, Bachinger converted his third set point to make it 3:38 after 6 minutes of play. Seppi leaves good opportunities in the second set The second half of the game was also quite even. When the score was 2:5 from the South Tyrolean's point of view, Seppi even had a set point, but couldn't use it. Bachinger equalized to 4:5 and even took Seppi's serve in the following game to make it 5:6. The Kalterer player then had a huge chance to rebreak, but again missed two break points. Bachinger did better, using his first match point with a final score of 5:2.
