After Lenny Wilmink, who has been touring on the HTT since April of last year, has so far “only” made a name for himself with various talent samples in his almost 11-month HTT career, the young star of the sports and recreation club Union Isovolta has now for the first time put his hinted top performances in the right light in terms of results, and the 12th round of the HTT has been a success. UTC La Ville won the 50th edition of the March BTT 250 tournament. The 15-year-old declassified on Tuesday evening in the final of the 15-year-old’s 15th season. In less than an hour, the 4-time HTT title holder Felix Sagasser from TC Strebersdorf, who was rated higher in the 6:3.6:0, won his first title on the Hobby Tennis Tour in the ninth season. A report by C. L.
A full decade away from the premiere event in 2007, the March BTT 250 tournament was all about seasoned and seasoned players. Stars such as Germany’s Robin Douglas, Thomas Schaaf, Thomas Guem, Jürgen Buchhammer or the only two-time champion, Peter Hillebrand, left their mark on events at the third HTT-250 tournament of the year for ten years before last year’s youngsters took over the command, and on Tuesday evening, following last year’s success for WAC star Nicolas Moser, they celebrated the second teenage triumph in March’s HTT-250-T. Lenny Wilmink demonstrated on the evening of the 6. He also profited from his opponent’s worst performance since the hobby tennis tour. There was an unleashing winner and an inferior finalist, and the result was a 59-minute finale before Nicolas Moser’s successor as March HTT-250 champion was named.
The 20th. In the final duel with Felix Sagasser, Lenny Wilmink’s single HTT career victory was never questioned. Even in the fiercely contested first phase with the meanwhile laboriously running against Sagassers 1-0 lead, Wilmink is more confident in his service games than his opponent, and so it was only a matter of time until the 15-year-old would win the upper hand in the duel with his opponent four years older. Especially because Sagasser showed a glaring weakness on the forehand already in the starting phase. This was a shortcoming that eventually led to his downfall. Initially only in the form of the first break, which Wilmink secured for the 2-1 win, and which he carried confidently and safely through the entire first set. And after Sagasser missed the only two break-outs of the match 2:3, the 19-year-old from TC Strebersdorf had to take a 3:5 with his own extra charge to avert the loss of the first round. It was a pitifully failed venture, as the 2015 Challenger Tour Final Champion was pipped with three more forehand mistakes and a failed attempt to stop, and had to give up his service at 3-6 at zero.
However, Felix Sagasser had long been in a downward spiral in which the sympathetic 19-year-old could almost feel a little sorry for himself. Because with the 4x HTT title carrier, which stumbled across the center court with a huge “forehand branch”, nothing came together anymore. With his faulty forehand Felix maneuvered himself into total ruin. 10 points in a row went to Wilmink before Sagasser interrupted this Unserie with a “frustration return” and after five games lost in uninterrupted order, he escaped into a “medical timeout” at 0:3. However, Wilmink also did not deviate this measure from the course of winning the title any more. The 15-year-old was in a cool place, beating the little yellow felt against the hall wall during the 2-minute break. 9 minutes were played at this point in the second round, and another 11 minutes later Felix Sagasser was finally freed from the suffering of his sixth HTT career finale. Because Sagasser dropped his next service game to 0:4, had won only 3 of the first 20 points of the second set played out in this moment, and had long since turned out to be defeated. 8 Games en suite Wilmink had won 6:3,6:0 after exactly 59 minutes, and the match statistics of hobbytennistour. at clearly occupied the top spot with a total of 44 unforced errors. Career Tournament kick-off, while Wilmink competed in the 1,210 tournament of the open era to 448. winner’s face of HTT history since 1990.
