–
The TC Iserlohn had to accept a 3-6 defeat at the Oldenburger TeV at the start of the 2nd tennis Bundesliga on Sunday. Already after the singles things didn’t look good for coach Jim Anwar’s team with an intermediate score of 2: 4. The tactically clever TCI double line-up almost led to a turning point. “We were just missing a tad. Something was possible in the doubles, ”said Anwar. In all double games, the TCI duos kept up well in the opening movements: Walder / Reinwein and Bertsch / Rüpke even won the first movement, only at the top did Vatutin / Ollert get into trouble. “Oldenburg’s single doubles have been playing together for several years. It was very difficult then, ”said Anwar.
Longest day’s match lasts 136 minutes
Regarding the individual: Jim Walder narrowly defeated Niels Visker, did not have the necessary fortune in both sets in the decisive rallies. Sami Reinwein seemed on course after losing the first round (3: 6) in the second set when he broke his opponent Stefan Seifert directly and was 2: 0 in the lead. But in the subsequent service game, the Iserlohner came under pressure, initially fended off two breakballs at 15:40, but then had to accept the re-break and lost the connection. “He played a little too defensively. He didn’t have the punch, ”analyzed Coach Anwar.
The longest day’s match between TCI actor Thorsten Bertsch and his opponent Alexander Meyer was exciting and over the full distance of three sets: In the match tie-break, Bertsch led 7: 6, then the Oldenburg was not at his service Nakedness – and Bertsch was 7: 8 behind. Two good serves meant match point for the Iserlohner and he converted the first one. “A very important win for us,” said coach Anwar. Instead of a 0: 3 false start, the Anwar team was in close contact – 1: 2. And even if Lukas Rüpke was lost to Oldenburg team captain Michel Dornbusch, a tie was still possible.
Alexej Vatutin, 317 in the current ATP world rankings, offered powerful clay court tennis in the top game against Oriol Roca-Batalla, number 370 in the world, and reduced it to 2: 3 for the TCI. Everything depended on Lukas Ollert, who had bad luck in the match tiebreak against Florian Barth in a game that sapped for 128 minutes. “Both played well. But there were net scooters to our disadvantage, ”said Coach Anwar. The TCI was 2: 4 behind after the singles – ultimately too heavy a mortgage.
