Ofner advantage, Sinner's answer is wrong

40-40 Straight into the net of Ofner who was commanding the exchange, one immediately goes to the advantages

40-30 Sinner's answer is long

30-30 Service and reverse of Ofner

15-30 Good second of Ofner, straight on Sinner's net

0-30 Aggressive with the straight Sinner

0-15 First point won by Sinner

11:17 Soon the final is coming! At the service of Ofner. The start was delayed by a blackout that left half Ortisei in the dark.

11:12 Warming up between the two players who are protagonists of today's Ortisei final

11:10 There are four other Challenger finals this week: in Houston the American Marcos Giron and the Croatian immortal Ivo Karlovic face off, in Champaign it is the US derby between Jeffrey John Wolf and Sebastian Korda (son of Petr, winner of the Australian Open 1998 and then disqualified time later for doping), in Helsinki the promising Finn Emil Ruusuvuori faces the Egyptian Mohamed Safwat, finally in Pune, India, the British Jay Clarke challenges the Australian James Duckworth.

11:05 In addition to Ofner, there is also another Austrian to have won Challenger this year, two in number: it is Dennis Novak, twenty-six of Wiener Neustadt (the same birthplace of Dominic Thiem).

11:00 The two players are expected to enter the field shortly.

10:55 Should he win today, Sinner would give Italy his 15th Challenger success. They have won three Gianluca Magers, two the same Sinner and Stefano Travaglia and one each Matteo Berrettini (special case, his: in Phoenix they have a license to play many soon to come out of the Masters 1000 of Indian Wells), Andreas Seppi, Alessandro Giannessi, Lorenzo Giustino, Lorenzo Sonego, Salvatore Caruso and Federico Gaio.

10:50 If from Sinner's parable, starting from the tournaments under the ITF aegis and arriving in Rome, the US Open and the grand finale of the season in the ATP, we know a bit of everything, we go instead to find out what Ofner did 'year: he won the Challenger of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, last May, but in the rest of the year he was no longer able to get great results. He has been stationing for a couple of years around the number 150 position in the world rankings.

10:45 Ofner, instead, from number 10 of the seeding (and beneficiary, like Sinner, of a bye in the first round with the reform that changed the face of the Challengers), he beat the Italian Francesco Forti for 6-2 6- 3, compatriot Dennis Novak 3-6 6-3 7-6 (6), and then the Italians Lorenzo Musetti for 7-6 (5) 6-2 and Luca Vanni for 7-6 (4) 7-6 ( 3). Musetti, we recall, is class 2002 and has played a tournament (and from tomorrow will have the best ranking, presumably at number 364, second best Under 18 after the British Jack Draper), while Vanni is still the example of who, to 34 years and with the best times long gone, he never gives up again.

10:40 To reach the final, Sinner, seeded number 2 of the tournament, defeated the Austrian Lucas Miedler for 7-6 (5) 7-5, the compatriots Roberto Marcora (6-3 6-4) and Federico Gaius (6-4 6-4) and finally the French Antoine Hoang for 6-3 7-6 (4).

10:35 For today's emerging Italian, today's meeting marks the opportunity to rise to number 78 of the ATP ranking, while for the Austrian the prospect is to reach number 147 (still a bit far, however, from the his best ranking of 126)

10:30 Good morning to all OA Sport readers, and welcome to LIVE LIVE for the final of the Ortisei Challenger between Jannik Sinner and Austrian Sebastian Ofner.
