Sparkassen Trophy: All South Tyroleans eliminated

Rieder from Völs and Fellin from Brixen were already in action in doubles on Wednesday. The South Tyroleans were 1:6 behind against the French Benjamin Bonzi/Maxime Mora before the match had to be interrupted due to rain and postponed to Thursday. However, the comeback failed to materialize: Rieder/Fellin lost out 3:6.

Late on Thursday afternoon, Moritz Trocker and Georg Winkler met the top seeds Andrey Golubev (KAZ)/Felipe Meligeni (BRA). The Völser duo had no chance and had to bow down 52:1, 6:2 after just 6 minutes of play. So all South Tyroleans in Rungg were eliminated.

The individual round of 1 matches were also played on Thursday. Christian Lindell continues confidently. The former Swedish Davis Cup player was in the semi-finals in Bolzano a week ago, where he lost to eventual winner Riccardo Balzerani. Lindell, who defeated the top seeded Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi in round 6, also had the upper hand in the round of 1 against the Brazilian Felipe Meligeni 7:5, 7:33. In the quarterfinals on Friday, Lindell will face French No. 4 seed Maxime Chazal, who sent home former world No. 6 Kazakh Andrey Golubev 6-1, 6-1, XNUMX-XNUMX.

Surprise man Andrea Guerrieri is also in the Rungg quarter-finals: The qualifier defeated Giuseppe La Vela 6-0, 6-4 in the all-Italian derby. On Thursday he will face either the Czech and secret favorite Tomas Machac or the Italian Davide Galoppini.

Defending champion Pietro Rondoni is also next. The 25-year-old from Vercelli knocked out the tournament's number 4, Andrea Basso, 6:4, 6:4. In the round of the best eight, compatriot Federico Arnaboldi is waiting, who was able to assert himself in three sets against number 3 from Brazil, Daniel Dutra da Silva.

The duel between the Azzurri Francesco Forti and Riccardo Balzerani on Friday should be extremely interesting. The number 2 seed Forti, who was able to prevail against Sebastian Brzezinski from Bolzano at the start, brought the Brazilian Wilson Leite to his knees 6:3, 6:4. Bolzano winner Balzerani, number 8 on the seeding list, celebrated a three-set win against Fellin conqueror Facundo Diaz Acosta from Argentina.
