17 issues of January BTT 250 tournament since its premiere in 2002 with 17 different winners! So, even after the current season of the first HTT 250 season at UTC La Ville, she continues the impressive series that no player has yet managed to win the season opener twice on HTT 250 level at UTC La Ville. WAC star Manuel Wachta provided the latest entry in the winner’s list of the January BTT 250 tournament on Wednesday evening. The 32-year-old Ondrej Breza, who had won the quarter-finals over second-placed Slovakia’s Ondrej Breza, benefited for the second time in the tournament from his opponent’s injury-related relegation, and only had to play 6 games in his first career final against seniors star Alois Posch, before going on a 5-1 lead in the first set, out of congratulations to his adductor Alois Posch. In the end, however, Wachta celebrated a highly deserved title win in a very special tournament. Two round anniversaries adorned these 17. First edition of the January BTT 250 tournament on the last weekend of January 2018. A report by C. L.

Manuel Wachta has won the first HTT 250cc tournament in the new year and is now 443rd. Players of the Open era secured a title on Austria’s largest amateur tennis series. The 32-year-old, who had impressively finished the successful run of the Russian prodigy Aljona Kasatkina in the semi-final, was confronted with another “special match” less than 24 hours after his grandiose appearance against the 12-year-old exceptional talent from Moscow. This time, in the final of the 5. Alois Posch, a 58-year-old veteran in the form of Alois Posch, served his left-handed side with only one set from the quarter-finals against HTT newcomer Kevin Weber and played his way through to the finals at his first HTT match. However, the debutant had no luck there. Wachta quickly pulled away 4-0 with a double-break before Posch injured the adductors 1-4. The 58-year-old tried his best again in the following game, but in the end he had to throw in the towel at 1:5.

In principle, I’m really looking forward to winning the tournament. It was already a season goal of mine to win a 250 HTT tournament. That already on 31. It’s a bit funny now to reach us on January 1. I can end the season with that. No fun: The way there was a very curious one. I won twice by relinquishing, once against a beaten opponent, then against a 12-year-old, so that wasn’t exactly an everyday tournament. Of course, you don’t want to win like you do today. However, I have to admit that I only played a bad set in the whole tournament. He was better said inferior and in the quarter-finals against Breza. Apart from that, I would have dared to make the statement that I could have won this tournament with the level of these days played,”said the new January HTTT 250 champion in a first statement.

And Manuel Wachta not only won his first title in the January BTT 250 tournament on Wednesday evening, but also triumphed in a statistically very special tournament. The 17th. The 20th edition of the January HTTT 250 tournament at UTC La Ville was already the single event No. 1200 since the foundation of the Hobby Tennis Tour in September 1990. In addition, the UTC La Ville further expanded its leading position as host tennis club. In the meantime, the time-honored tennis court in Leberstraße with its 225 individual events has been hung far behind and on the last weekend in January set another impressive record. The tennis temple at Altmannsdorf’s branch, with 300 HTT individual tournaments staged, stands at the forefront of all locations in HTT history. And when it comes to indoor tournaments, too, GF Raimund Stefanits’ tennis jewel is now 218 tournaments ahead of the former front runner Tennispoint Vienna, which hosted exactly 160 indoor singing tournaments from 1996 to 2011.
