Tennis: Ofner and Neumayer Reach Quarterfinals in Menorca

Sebastian Ofner is in the quarterfinals at the ATP-100 Challenger in Menorca. As in the previous week in Girona, the top-ranked Austrian tennis professional reached the last eight. The second-seeded Styrian defeated the Spaniard Javier Barranco Cosano (ATP-257) on Thursday after about 92 minutes with 6:1, 7:6(0).

Especially in the second set, the 28-year-old had difficulties: At 5:4, he initially missed a match point and then had to accept the equalizer to 5:5 with the eighth break point against him. In the tiebreak, however, Ofner gave his opponent no chance and won confidently with 7:0.

Neumayer Advances to Quarterfinals

Lukas Neumayer also survived his round of 16 match. The 22-year-old from Salzburg defeated the Argentine Pedro Cachin with 7:6(2), 6:0. Thus, two ÖTV professionals are in the quarterfinals of the tournament in Menorca.
