Weis and Sinner are in the semi-finals in St. Christina

Jannik Sinner celebrated his 17th birthday on Thursday in St. Christina.

The derby against Vigani from Brixen was very even in the first set. With the score at 4:5, Sinner had to fend off two set points from Vigani, but was then able to turn the game around and used his first match point after 1:38 hours of play to make the final score 7:6(3), 6:2. In the semifinals on Friday, Sinner will face Italian Alessandro Ceppellini (ATP 1076), who eliminated qualifier Mattia Bellucci in three sets.

Alexander Weis from Bolzano and the top seeded German Peter Heller (ATP 393) will contest the second semi-final. Weis defeated Corrado Summaria, against whom he had won the doubles final in Rungg just last Friday, 75:6, 3:6 in just 1 minutes of play. Heller lost a set in this tournament for the first time on Thursday against Frenchman Maxime More, but ultimately won 3:6, 6:3, 6:4.

For Alexander Weis and Jannik Sinner it is the first semi-final on the ITF tour.
