Vigani and Ploner win the Open tournament in the municipality of Bolzano

Despite the absence of record winners Thomas Holzer and Patrick Prader, the tournament in Bolzano was well attended, with a total of 32 players in the 2nd category. The first surprises came in the round of 2, when the tournament's number 5, Alex Weis (7:1, 6:3 against Manfred Fellin) and the number 6, Patric Prinoth (7:3, 6:5 against Riccardo Stiglich) were eliminated. In the quarter-finals Fellin also got hit, winning the first set in the tiebreak against Michael Kerschbaumer from Brixen, but then had to admit defeat 7:2 and 6:7. In the semifinals, top seed Vigani defeated Georg Winkler 5:6, 1:6, Kerschbaumer beat Fabrizio Cavestro from Vicenza in three sets. This resulted in a “Brixner” final, which Joy Vigani won 3:6, 2:700 against runner-up national champion Michael Kerschbaumer. The blonde, who trains with Marco Girardini in Brixen and plays for TC Bozen, was also delighted to receive XNUMX euros in prize money.

Vera Ploner prevails in the women's final For the women, however, two players from TC St. Georgen made it to the final. Vera Ploner, seeded number 1, clearly defeated her teammate Silvia Saccani 6:1, 6:1. Last year, Ploner had to admit defeat to Deborah Chiesa in the final. Ploner had to play her toughest match in the semifinals when she defeated Alessia Stefani from Vicenza 5:7, 7:6, 7:5 after three hours of play. Stefani had thrown national champion Marion Viertler out of the competition in the round of XNUMX.

Zöschg and Schwienbacher win the 3rd category tournament In the 3rd category for men, Mirko Zöschg beat Pietro Orlando Fellin 6:4, 6:4.
