St. Georgen and Bozen are playing to stay in the league

In the women's A2 series, St. Georgen would have needed a 4-0 win at home against Park Genoa to still have hopes of fourth place. But it was only enough to make it 2:2. It was already the fourth draw in the sixth championship game. Both points again came from Gabriella Polito, who didn't lose a single singles match this year. The Puster team captain prevailed in a marathon game against the 19-year-old 2.4 player Chiara Icardi 5:7, 6:4, 6:4. Vera Ploner's match against ex-professional Verdiana Verardi (2.4) also lasted almost three hours. In the end, the 17-year-old from Sand in Taufers lost 7:6, 0:6, 3:6. She won the tiebreak in the first set with 11:9 points. The singles match between Jeannine Hopfgartner and Annalisa Bona only lasted 40 minutes. The former number 235 in the world shot the Pusterian from the field 6:0, 6:0. In the doubles, Ploner/Polito were leading 6:4, 0:1 when Genoa gave up. The team from Liguria had already secured second place in the table with the 2-2 draw. St. Georgen, on the other hand, has to worry about staying in the league, even though they only lost one match this year. On Sunday they play in Rome against TC Nomentano Rome. If they win, they are saved, otherwise they move on to the next play-out round.

TC Bozen loses against Albinea 0:6 TC Bozen also has to go into the playout in the men's Serie B after the 0-6 home defeat against Albinea. The guests from Emilia, who did not drop a single set, secured first place in the table in District 1 with this victory, while Bozen missed out on third place and thus a place in the play-offs. The Talferstädter finished the preliminary round in 4th place and will play at home against TC Galatina from Lecce in Apulia on Sunday.
