After three wins in a row, the tennis men of the STC Oberland suffered a setback: In the 1: 8 defeat, national league leader TC Hengersberg was simply too strong.
Wolfratshausen - The winning streak of the STC Oberland suddenly broke: After three successes in a row, after three successes at 1: 8 against TC Hengersberg, the regional league men lost again for the first time. However, it did not come as a complete surprise. On Sunday the hosts had to do without Yannick Maser, who is at an ITF tournament in Africa, and the prevented Italian Lorenzo Rottoli. "Then we all moved up one position," reports Chris Hahn.
In addition, the upswing of the young STC team did not go unnoticed by the Hengersbergers. "Because they really wanted to win this game in order to move up, they even strengthened themselves in second position," the team spokesman observed. Player-coach Francesco Picco won his singles in three sets as usual, but after that the home side's oven was out. Ferdinand Klösters, Niklas Vonthein, Hahn himself and Sebastian Rupp lost their singles. David Gampenrieder had to give up injured. The doubles were then no longer played. “It's a shame, we wanted to counter it. But it wasn't enough in this constellation, ”the STC spokesman stated.
The youngsters from Geretsried and Wolfratshausen want to rehabilitate on Sunday, July 18th. Then they will be guests at GW Luitpoldpark Munich II at 10 o'clock. However, Ferdinand Klösters, who is in action at the Bavarian U16 championships, will be missing. Hahn: "He is one of the top five in Bavaria, so we will probably miss him on both days."
By the way, Francesco Picco had already proven his skills on Saturday in the 6: 3 success of men 30 against TC Malgersdorf. "After a 6-0 win in the first round, he almost made a golden set in the second set," said Chris Hahn happily. Ironically, the Italian failed on the 23rd point in a row, but still easily won 6-1. Christoph Schramm and Daniel Hahn were also successful, while Philipp Henrich, Andreas Schneider and Sören Nassner were left behind in their singles. In the double duels, however, the state league leaders turned things around: Schramm / Henrich, Picco / Nassner and Schneider / Florian Dafertshofer ensured a 6: 3 final score. On Saturday, the 30 men will compete with the pursuers TC Rot-Weiß Landshut.
Gentlemen 40 also kept their white vests.
They won 8-1 in the Super District League against TC Thalkirchen-Munich.
Whether it will be enough for the title at the end of the day will only be decided on the last match day in the "final" against the MTTC Iphitos Munich II, which is also free of loss points.
