Sparkasse Trophy: Qualification completed, Dryer and Cleva out

In the first game of the day, Trocker showed that he will probably still be a force to be reckoned with in the future. He narrowly lost in three sets 2/6 6/4 4/6 against Juan Pablo Ficovich (ATP 1052). The Argentine, who was already number 650 in the world rankings, started strong and put Trocker under pressure again and again during his service games. In the sixth game he took the TC Rungg player to zero, followed by another break to 6/2. But Trocker came back: He made the second set open, and in the seventh game he even managed the important break that was later enough to win the set 2/6. The third round was characterized by the Rungger midday heat, which visibly affected both players. The error rate became higher. Both played their serve games until the score was 4:4. Ficovich then easily increased to 4:5 with his own service and then got the game-winning break to make it 4:6. For Cleva, the second South Tyrolean in the second qualifying round, there was nothing to be gained in the regional duel against Giovanni Orlandini from Rovereto. He lost 6:2 and 6:0 in less than an hour.

Eight qualifiers make it into the main field Gianluca Di Nicola, number 1 on the qualifying list and current number 687 in the world rankings, left no stone unturned in his 6:1, 6:1 win against Edoardo Lamberti. He already won the Futures ($10.000) from Frascati this year. As expected, there were also clear victories for the Croatian Franjo Raspudic (ATP 775) against Lorenzo Schmid (6:1, 6:2) and for Nicolussi conqueror Rafael Matos (ATP 1018) against Samuele Ramazzotti (6:2, 6:2). . A high-class match, especially in the first set, was that of Wilson Leite (number 3 in the qualifying seeding list) against Giovanni Fonio, which the Brazilian ultimately won 7:5 and 6:2. Last but not least, Marcel Felder (6:0, 6:2 against Francesco Ferrari) and Sebastian Prechtel (ATP 1029) against Andres Gabriel Ciurletti (6:4, 5/:7 and 6:2) also made it into the main field.

Number one in the main draw and favorite for the title is last year's winner Federico Gaio (ATP 158). The 24-year-old Italian recently played the July of his life: He won two Challenger tournaments within the last month. In the final in Biella he even beat current number 52 in the ATP rankings Thomaz Bellucci.

Monday is all about doubles Junior Wimbledon champions and finalists of the French Open junior competition Orlando Luz and Marcelo Zorman will face Marcelo Tomas Barrios and Juan Pablo Ficovich in the first round. “We want to win the double competition in Rungg. That’s our goal,” Luz said at the draw ceremony. Pedro Cachin/Juan Pablo Paz and Marcel Felder/Joao Pedro Sorgi, who will compete against each other in an exciting first round match tomorrow, may also have something to object to. We can also expect some from Zdenek Kolar/Bastian Malla. They play against the two South Tyroleans Daniel Gitzl and Moritz Trocker, who received a wild card from the organizers. Barrios will compete on Monday not only in doubles, but also in singles. The Chilean, considered one of the brightest hopes of international tennis, was in the top five of the junior world rankings in 2015. In Rungg he will face qualifier Franjo Raspudic in the first round.
