"In contrast to the preliminary round two weeks ago, I felt very comfortable today," said Bachinger after the match. "The new center court is excellent." Bachinger, who himself trained part of his long professional career at the TennisBase Oberhaching, was also enthusiastic about the overall system: "This tennis center is certainly one of the best in the world." Bachinger meets Peter Heller in his second match of the bonus round on Wednesday, who gave Philip Florig no chance at 6-0, 6-1.
Stebe and Masur successfully
At the start of the intermediate round, tournament favorite Cedrik-Marcel Stebe, number 133 in the ATP world rankings, and the Upper Palatinate Johannes Härteis faced each other. In the match between two left-handers, Stebe ultimately won 6: 4, 6: 3. "It was a little strange to play an official match after the many training sessions here on the center court, but in principle I am very satisfied with my performance," said Stebe, who has been training at TennisBase Oberhaching for years and "a little bit of Home advantage "could benefit. Stebe's next opponent on Wednesday is Daniel Masur, who was in second place. The number 250 in the ATP world rankings prevailed against the German Under-16 champion Max Rehberg in a high-class match with 6: 2, 7: 6.
In Grosshesselohe, Kevin Krawietz won 7: 5, 7: 5 against Julian Lenz and Maximilian Marterer with 7: 6 (9) and 6: 4 against Peter Torebko in the final round. The games scheduled in Versmold had to be canceled after the lockdown for the district of Gütersloh and are to be played near Mühlheim / Ruhr tomorrow.
