Neuchrist crowns the trophy in Warmbad Villach!

For a whole weekend, everything revolved around the tennis world in Warmbad Villach, and the big winner came from Vienna. Maximilian Neuchrist, 33 years old, sat down in the double competition of the Carinthian Lake Trophy Jeremy ski from Germany and Leonardo Taddia from Italy. The final score: 6: 7 (1), 6: 3 and 10: 2 in the match tiebreak. Neuchrist not only celebrated his 39th international tournament victory, but also the 36th at ITF level. A real coup for the Viennese and his double partner, the Swiss Arthur Laborde!

But the day was not just a success for Neuchrist. His opponents also performed excellently in the course of the tournament, but ultimately had to be beaten. Previously, Neuchrist and Laborde defeated Michael Glöckler and Lukas Rohseano in the first round and then thrown out the race in the quarter -finals Syl Gaxherri and Benedikt Szerencsits. So it went into the final with a lot of momentum.

individual competition and disappointments with the women

In the singles, on the other hand, Neuchrist could not quite keep up. He had to give up in the quarter-finals against Tim Handel, who is currently occupying the ATP ranking place 627. The final score was 5: 7, 6: 7 (2). Matthias Ujvary also only made it to the quarter-finals, where he lost to Diego Dedura-Palomero (ATP 386).

In the women's area, the Austrian players did not exactly go according to plan. Sapfo Sakellaridi (WTA 376) met Nastasja Schunk (WTA 302) in a single miss. Despite an early lead of 6: 0, 3: 6, 4: 2, Sakellaridi ultimately gave up - a tragic turn for the somewhat battered nerves of the spectators.

Double victory for Sloven women

The women's double competition saw the fourth Sloven women Dalila Jakupovic and Nika Radisic triumph. They conquered the top seeds Jasmijn Gimbrère (Netherlands) and Rasheeda McAdoo (USA) 6: 4, 6: 4 and proved that they had an excellent run to secure the title.

In the context of the last matches, Neuchrist has completed an exciting year: in the previous futures and challenges he gained experience and showed that he can face the playful challenges of international competition. Even before his triumph in Villach, he convinced with strong performances, such as in the Challenger tournament in San Luis Potosí.

Overall, it is to be hoped that our domestic players: Despite the setbacks, now, despite the setbacks, can emerge strengthened from this event and can start the next season with fresh courage. The tennis fans in Austria can look forward to the upcoming tournaments and we are excited to see where Neuchrist will accept his next challenge. One thing is certain: it remains exciting and dynamic in the world of tennis, and we will remain at the pulse of the event.
