The best young tennis players from four associations were invited to a screening tournament. Among them was Marco Ontiveros, who met a permanent rival in the final.
Penzberg - The two youngsters have not yet managed 50 duels like Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. However, tennis players Marco Ontiveros (TC Penzberg) and Matti Barth (Cannstatter TC) have delivered a number of hotly contested matches - including three finals in the “Talent Comparison” of the associations of Hesse, Baden, Württemberg and Bavaria. The most recent endgame in Stuttgart was almost dramatic, with Ontiveros - as in the 2018 and 2019 finals - prevailing.
This time the young Penzberger won the match tie-break 6-0, 5-7, 11-9. Ontiveros had a much better start in the U-11 class final. He won the first set 6-0. But Barth "acted as usual combative," said the Penzberger in a message. In the second set, Ontiveros was 3: 4 behind. The Penzberger then won two games in a row; and at 40:15 he had two match balls. He could not use them, in the end even lost the set 5-7. So it went into the match tie-break.
Ontiveros: final against permanent rival Matti Barth
Ontiveros was 4: 0 up front, but Barth equalized to 4: 4. At the score of 9: 6 for Ontiveros, the Penzberger had three match balls. "The spectators thought the match was over," said the TC. Far from it, Barth forced the tie again - 9: 9. Now Barth made two mistakes; With this, Ontiveros had done his hat trick perfectly at the sighting tournament.
For the comparison, the four tennis associations in the age groups U11 and U12 each sent the two best girls and boys. Ontiveros had won this sighting among the U-10 players only four months ago in Nuremberg. At the performance center in Stuttgart there were initially two groups of four on the program. Ontiveros got it right in the first group game with his friend and permanent rival, Barth. After losing the first set, the Penzberger played more concentrated and constant and turned the match against the local hero in his favor (3: 6, 6: 2, 10: 6).
Ontiveros: Clear victory in the semi-finals
The next day, he defeated Hessen Tim König (TC Wehen) and Baden Jakob Joggerst (TC Schallstadt) surprisingly smooth, 6: 1, 6: 2. As first in the group, Ontiveros met second in the semi-final, Nicolas Pfafflin from TEV Fellbach (Württemberger Tennis-Verband). In this match too, the Oberbayer determined the action, which was reflected in a 6: 1, 6: 1. That was the endgame. Barth had to fight a lot more in his semifinals. Against the second Bavarian player, Vincent Reisach (TC Ergoldsbach), he won in the match tie-break (6: 3, 0: 6, 10: 7).
Ontiveros was not the only successful player in the Bavarian Tennis Association. The U-12 boys had a purely white-blue final, which Lovis Bertermann (TC Großhesselohe) won 6-0, 6-3 against Jaron Held (TC Schwaben Augsburg). Lotte Helmensdorfer (TC Lindau / U11) and Livia Sistermann (Grün-Weiß Graefelfing / U12) each came second in the girls. They were subject to players from Württemberg.
