CTP Pötzleinsdorf star Philipp Jahn, after his group win and semi-final entry already fixed on Monday, has also successfully completed his third preliminary match at the HTT Tour Finals 2018 at UTC La Ville with a 6:4, 6:3 success in the final night session of the fifth match day over the ranking third Bernhard Scheidl also successfully took revenge for the HTT Wimbledon final lost in summer. For Bernhard Scheidl, however, a totally messed up HTT season final ended just after midnight on Wednesday with the third preliminary round bankruptcy and a total of six defeats including doubles. From the UTC La Ville reported for hobbytennistour.at C.L

In the end, the two offensive artists in the field of the 29th HTT Tour Finals had again burned down a firework of volleys, Smashe’s tough services, and with 74 joint winnings entertained the audience at late hour in the UTC La Ville. It was a diversified game, easy, solved almost with the character of a training match, in which Jahn had the better end for himself, but in both sets had difficulties at first to find his way into the game and to his game. Scheidl, who had been eliminated in the semi-final race before, was leading 4:1, when Jahn started to act really strong at the return and hit the balls in front of the bib of his opponent, who appeared again and again at the net. In just 24 minutes, Jahn had turned a 1:4 with five games in a row into a 6:4, and thus laid the foundation for the successful HTT Wimbledon revenge. Jahn then succeeded in the same feat in the second movement. Again the 26 year old caught up with three games, and this time it took only 22 minutes before Jahn even won six games in a row, and after 67 minutes the winner was 6:4, 6:3.

“Of course, you’ve already noticed that there wasn’t much more at stake for both players, and that’s why we were able to start playing loosely. I tried a lot, especially the return, and it was always fun. It wasn’t much more than a training match,” says Jahn. “There was more in today, or there wasn’t. During the game, Philipp completely broke up my game. Every second ball flew around my ears, and that can’t go well in the long run. My opponents have always played their best tennis in the decisive phases, which has lasted through the whole tournament”, Scheidl said, who then drew a final conclusion: “I am satisfied with matches 1 and 3. In the second game – I still think – I brought back a relatively dead opponent. He can now be grateful to me for the Maxi, because today he played super”, the HTT Wimbledon winner summed up.
