The 17-year-old from Styria and the Burgenlander are stopped in the singles semi-finals and doubles finals, respectively.
From a red-white-red perspective, the ITF home tournament in Bad Waltersdorf did not have the outcome we had hoped for. The Styrian local hero Sebastian Sorger suffered a defeat in the singles semi-finals, as did David Pichler from Burgenland in the doubles final on Saturday. Sorger (ATP 774) missed his second international men’s final 1:6, 3:6 once morest the Austrian shock Marcel Zielinski (ATP 766) from Poland, who had previously eliminated Matthias Ujvary (ATP 1049) and Pichler (ATP 627). . The victory went to the 18-year-old Serbian Branko Djuric (ATP 1317), who was able to stop Zielinski 6:1, 6:2. At the ITF M15 clay court tournament in the Sportaktivpark Bad Waltersdorf, Pichler, with the German Kai Lemstra as the top seed, lost out in the title game once morest his compatriots Tim Rühl and Patrick Zahraj with 6:4, 2:6 and 2:10 in the match tiebreak. So he still has to wait for his 46th ITF doubles title.
This time there was no sense of success for the Austrians at the women’s ITF W15 event, which was held at the same time. The cup also went to Serbia here: third-seeded Tamara Curovic (WTA 601) beat sixth-seeded Bulgarian Julia Stamatova (WTA 741) 6:4, 7:5 in the final. The 28-year-old was unable to achieve the double that was possible; she lost the double final alongside the Slovakian Nikola Daubnerova once morest the Czech-Slovak pairing Denise Hrdinkova and Laura Svatikova 6:7 (5), 2:6.
