Tulln Ch F: Jan Choinski def. Lukas Neumayer 6-4, 6-1 Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

J. Choinski had a service game slip midway through the first set, but he capitalized on L. Neumayer's sloppy follow-up toward the end of the first set, where one of his double faults paved the way to his working pass that allowed him to break for the set. From there, the Brit appeared firmer, asking the necessary questions to the Austrian's forehand until he went out of balance at the end. As a result, J. Choinski converted 100% of his 4 break points compared to L. Neumayer's 33% break point conversion rate out of his 3 break points.

Besides, it was a decent serving day for J. Choinski throughout this match. Even if both players only scored an ace, the Brit had the better serving percentage by winning 71% of his first serve points, 6% more than L. Neumayer, which helped him escape trouble in numerous occasions. However, the Austrian's 3 double faults faded his second serve winning percentage to 33%, 22% lower than J. Choinski, which made it even more attack-prone at worst.

This marked J. Choinski's third career Challenger title after winning the Campinas Challenger 2022 and the Meerbusch Challenger 2023, putting himself back in the Top 200 and staying in form after his US Open qualification, with hopes for more boosts to close this season with. In the meantime, it might not to be for L. Neumayer, but there is still plenty of time.

📸 🎥 ATP official website

The second set suddenly became a one-way traffic as J. Choinski appeared firmer from his groundstrokes. After holding his serves to 1-0, he blew L. Neumayer's game points before his intuitive volleys created his break point. This was immediately converted through a delicate drop shot (2-0), with a consolidation right after even if the Brit was 0-30 down in the next game.

Somehow, J. Choinski continued this dominant showing by doubling the break (4-0) as he exposed L. Neumayer's more vulnerable forehands, which cracked under pressure. The former then held his serves to 5-0 and L. Neumayer was still on the board with a service game hold to 5-1, where J. Choinski earned his opportunity to serve for the match, which he did as he delivered the second-set breadstick (6-1) to secure his first Challenger title of the year.

Several hours later, this week's Challenger finals continued with the Tulln Challenger, that featured Jan Choinski, who just qualified for the 2024 US Open (d. Maxime Cressy in Q3, l. Roberto Carballes Baena in 5 sets back in R1), continued his positive form as he notably stunned first seed Vit Kopriva and came back from a set and a break down in the third set to knock out qualifier Marvin Moeller back in the first two rounds before defeating in-form alternate Jakub Nicod 6-4, 6-4 in the semifinals. He then took on Lukas Neumayer, who stunned second seed Jerome Kym 7-5, 6-7(3), 6-4 in a classic encounter before knocking out Rudolf Molleker 6-4, 6-3 in a rather straightforward manner in the previous round. Somehow, this match turned out to have some competitive beginnings, but the one who stood firmer at the end of the first set continued their form even brilliantly as the match progressed.

L. Neumayer had a decent start by pressing J. Choinski's forehand to create his initial break point in the fourth game, but the latter imposed a similar thing to save the break point before scoring a massive hold to 2-2. After the unseeded Brit held his serves to 3-2, he fumbled one of L. Neumayer's game point with a fourth-shot backhand down-the-line winner before the Austrian's forehands became more susceptible to error, thus the said errors created J. Choinski's break point before a forehand down-the-line winner confirmed the break (4-2).

However, the moment did not last long because L. Neumayer took advantage of J. Choinski's other errors midway, passing from his forehand side to secure his break-back to 4-3, surviving the latter's forehand winner before levelling the play to 4-4. Nonetheless, J. Choinski came back from 0-30 down to hold his serves to 5-4, which played a crucial role as L. Neumayer's balance started to be questioned, peaking at the Austrian's double fault that created J. Choinski's set point before its conversion thanks to his working pass, thus the Brit broke for the first set 6-4 to put himself ahead in this match.

Tulln Ch F: Vit Kopriva def. Sumit Nagal 6-2, 6-4 Match Stats

📸 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)

Kopriva appeared more dominant in the match thanks to his point construction, which put Nagal’s pacing into question, hence his frequent unforced errors. This allowed Kopriva to have 11 opportunities to break, breaking four times in the span of two sets, most of which came from his shot winners as a reward of balancing his power compared to Nagal’s 33% break point conversion rate, which conversion came from the first set and another break point came from the second set.

On the other hand, Kopriva stood out from his first serves with a 80% first serves winning percentage, scoring 7 aces in between, which got him out of trouble in some occasions. On the other hand, almost little separated both players’ second serves with 2 double faults, and Kopriva fell a little bit behind with a 1% difference compared to Nagal, but he got the situation under control thanks to his more careful rallying approach.

Three for three for Kopriva starting last year’s Prostejov Challenger, followed by a comeback win in Verona Challenger for his third career Challenger title. While this third Challenger final of the year (sixth in his career) led Nagal to be 6-7 lines away to the Top 150 per the current state of the live rankings, both Nagal and Kopriva’s position of being in the Top 200 would put them even closer to reach the top, some positives to take for the week. Nagal will have his home Davis Cup tie in Lucknow against Morocco, while Kopriva’s next tournament will be the Szczecin Challenger, where he faces the first seed Roberto Carballes Baena, who just won the Sevilla Challenger just last Saturday (local time).

Nagal had his moments to turn it around in the third game, but to no avail as Kopriva came in a clutch to hold that service game. It was not until the seventh game where Kopriva’s balanced power paid off, thanks to his backhand winner to convert his break point to 4-3 after some strings of Nagal’s unforced errors. Kopriva then consolidated his service game to 5-3, and he did not look back since.

Kopriva then had the opportunity to serve for the title in the tenth game. Just like the first set, despite a little hiccup, Kopriva took the second set 6-4, which allowed him to go three for three, winning three Challenger titles in the three Challenger finals he played. This was possible mostly due to Nagal’s unforced errors at times; but at the same time, Kopriva’s level under pressure was also intuitive with his winners coming on the right time.

Also, in Tulln, which is a clay Challenger…

The last match to finish between the three simultaneous Challenger finals was the Tulln Challenger, where Sumit Nagal took on Vit Kopriva for a shot in the title. While Kopriva aimed to win his third career Challenger title (second this year), Nagal reached his third Challenger final by notably defeating first seed Albert Ramos-Vinolas 7-6(6), 6-3 and fourth seed Flavio Cobolli 6-3, 6-4 in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively. On the other hand, the only moments Kopriva dropped a set was in the second round in defeating the second seed Jurij Rodionov, stunning third seed Maximilian Marterer 6-3, 6-3 in the semifinals. Could be a tough one, but it would depend on several shots on which would control the flow, as well as a more controlled power.

Interestingly, right in the first game, Kopriva came up with a lob winner to catch Nagal off-guard, before creating a break point thanks to his volley. Nagal tried to save those break points, which was not enough at the expense of his double fault for Kopriva’s latest break point of that game, before his forehand misfire (which went too wide) resulted in Kopriva’s early break to 1-0. Kopriva then consolidated to 2-0, only to be broken back at the expense over some error sprees, but also broke back afterward thanks to his more intuitive play, with another volley to set himself 2 points ahead before Nagal’s strings of errors resulted in the break to 3-2.

Kopriva ended up doubling the break thanks to his forehand winner to secure his latest break point before Nagal’s error once again handed Kopriva the break, resulting in his opportunity to take the first set thanks to some pace absorption that drove Nagal into the said string of errors. Without any further ado, despite a hiccup, Kopriva served it out to take the first set 6-2, cruising his way to another Challenger title.

Porto 2 Ch F: Daniel Cukierman/Piotr Matuszewski [2] def. Romain Arneodo/Theo Arribage 6-4, 6-0 Match Stats

📸 ATP/WTA Joint App

While capitalizing on R. Arneodo/T. Arribage's errors (and further implosion afterward), D. Cukierman/P. Matuszewski maintained a consistent range as they scored some critical winners, either on some deciding points or en route to it, putting more pressure on the first seeds' second serves, mostly ended up with the latter's balance being questioned at the end. From their aggression, they overwhelmingly generated 10 break points, converting 40% of them compared to R. Arneodo/T. Arribage's non-conversion of their sole break point.

Besides, D. Cukierman/P. Matuszewski appeared more solid on serve, including from where they dominated the second set. Landing 66% of their first serves, they had an exceptional first serve winning percentage with 89%, helping them to control the flow of the match. However, R. Arneodo/T. Arribage's second serves remained vulnerable, as they could only win 37% of their second serve points, committing 8 double faults compared to the second seeds' 3.

While this title brought P. Matuszewski virtually to the Top 100 (live), he has to confirm it next week as he reunites with Karol Drzewiecki in next week's Tulln Challenger. On the other hand, a fortnight from their Davis Cup tie against Ukraine, D. Cukierman reunites with Roy Stepanov in the Cassis Challenger, as well as playing the singles qualifying round tomorrow, as he faces wild card Hugo Cardinaud in the first qualifying round before taking on either third seed Dan Added or Fabien Salle in the final qualifying round. Could be neat!

Dobrich 1 Ch R2: Ergi Kirkin [1] def. Yshai Oliel 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

Oliel had some fair chances in the last two sets, but E. Kirkin dug deeper through his balanced point construction, trying to match Oliel's power while occasionally unleashing some timely drop shots. This way, E. Kirkin became more proactive in looking for his answers, creating 9 break points compared to Oliel's 6 even if the latter converted 50% of his break points in the first two sets.

Besides, it appeared that both players had their own service game strengths throughout the match. The first seed fired 5 aces than Oliel's 2, but the latter's serving accuracy tried to get him out of trouble with a 74% first serve winning percentage. On the other hand, Oliel double-faulted 7 times, which faded his second serve winning percentage 7% below E. Kirkin, who won 57% of his second serve points.

Somehow, E. Kirkin lost to Juan Bautista Torres 7-6(4), 6-4 in the quarterfinals, with the Argentinean taking on Arthur Gea for a spot in the quarterfinals, while second seed Hady Habib became the sole remaining seed as he will face Ivan Gakhov in the bottom half semifinals. The next route for E. Kirkin will be the Porto 2 Challenger next week before partaking in the Tulln Challenger the week after. And the grind continues.

Zadar Ch F: Jozef Kovalik def. Adrian Andreev 6-4, 6-2 Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

Despite the chaotic start in the first three games of the first set, J. Kovalik still managed to stay solid by trusting his baseline game, leaving less to no room for Adrian to execute his shots, thus the latter's frequent unforced errors. The Bulgarian might have had rare drop shots to prolong the first set, but even though he also saved a match point out of J. Kovalik's unforced error, it was insufficient for him to stay in the match. As a result, Adrian only had 20% break point conversion rate (out of his 5 chances), while J. Kovalik converted 57% of his 7 break points to assert his aggression.

Furthermore, J. Kovalik was also solid on serve. Scoring one more ace than Adrian, the Slovak had an exceptional first serve winning percentage with 78%, 11% more than Adrian as the match progressed. However, there was a possible issue in his shoulder that might have bothered Adrian's serves, which was already erratic since he only won 21% of his second serve points, 25% lesser than J. Kovalik even if the latter double-faulted quintuple times, which implied the possible risks of his second serves.

This marked J. Kovalik's sixth career Challenger title, his first since winning the Tulln Challenger 2022 to mark his comeback, propelling his rank back to 176. His upcoming Challenger will be the Naples Challenger, where he will face an intriguing challenge in second seed Luca Nardi in the first round. Should be one of the long list to be looked upon during the clay season!

Another Challenger final commenced with Vit Kopriva seeking his second consecutive Challenger title within two weeks after last week's Tulln Challenger, facing fifth seed Federico Coria, who last won a Challenger title back in February (defeating Timofey Skatov in the Concepcion Challenger). While Kopriva advanced at the expense of fourth seed Alexander Shevchenko's retirement down 0-6, 0-1 in the second set (with likely all the three-setters taking a toll on him), Fede scored a solid win by alternate defeating Francesco Maestrelli 6-4, 6-2 in a solid showing.

The first set started with 3 consecutive breaks of serve, where Fede appeared to control the flow through his forehand. He notably had 3 break points, in which the latest came from his forehand passing shot. However, Kopriva's 3 double faults did not help either, hence he got broken only to be broken back before his error spree resulted in another break of serve. Fede successfully held his service game 3-1, but it turned out Kopriva's backhand errors could not help, one of which resulted in Fede's latest break point before he doubled the break 4-1.

Fede then proceeded by consolidating his break point to 5-1, but his aggression did not stop there. After another string of errors from Kopriva resulted in a forever deuce situation, Fede's forehand winner contributed to his latest set point (around the second or third of the set) before he proceeded to serve the breadstick (6-1) thanks to a working smash. This denoted Fede's aggressive play, outplaying Kopriva from his forehand to the latter's backhand side, which might also be visible in the second set.

Szczecin Ch QF: Alexander Shevchenko [4] def. Adrian Andreev 6-3, 5-7, 7-5 Match Stats

📸 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)

The margin was thin between A. Shevchenko and A. Andreev considering their controlled aggression and how they tried to put each other’s balance off, but most of them came from the scenic routes they took. A. Andreev had his chances with 20 opportunities to break, but A. Shevchenko was clutch enough to save 14 of them, some of which came from his own unforced errors. He maximized his chances by converting 7 out of 15 break points, but the mere question also came from the service games, which contributed a lot in the scenic route.

Despite firing 3 aces, A. Shevchenko had a 1% lesser percentage in his first serves winning percentage than A. Andreev. However, his service games turned out to be risky as he double-faulted four times than A. Andreev’s 1, which faded his second serves until it equalled A. Andreev’s percentage (47%). While the reliance to the second serves might not help in some ways, the risks might have worth the reward as A. Andreev’s follow-ups were often insufficient, but in some cases also resulted in some unreturned serves in the moments that mattered the most.

In the semifinals, A. Shevchenko will face Vit Kopriva, who is on a roll after his Tulln Challenger title against Sumit Nagal, and earlier defeated Flavio Coboli 6-1, 5-7, 6-0 in the quarterfinals. With the second set dip becoming another different question, V. Kopriva’s improved aggression and power could be a good test to A. Shevchenko’s pacing and balance, whose momentum were often questioned as the match went by, judging by the rollercoasters he had to go through in the past three rounds. Could be an interesting match to see where the moment leaned to!

Mallorca Ch F: Hamad Medjedovic [2] def. Harold Mayot [7] 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 Match Stats

📸 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)

Except the second set dip, Medjedovic found his pace and momentum back in the third set, where he fired numerous winners to overwhelm Mayot, resulting in the latter’s error spree since he got pressed even more. This contributed toward Mayot’s 40% break point conversion rate and how Medjedovic had 12 opportunities to break, which gates were also open from his winners, utilizing the open space well even under pressure to maintain the momentum alive.

On the other hand, Medjedovic stood out in his service games. From his first serves alone, he had 10% more winning percentage compared to Mayot, which was backed up by 14 aces. However, despite double-faulting just twice, Mayot’s often shaky second serves resulted in them being sought after by Hamad despite the 6% difference, with the former having 41% winning rate compared to Medjedovic’s 47% (double-faulting just once). A dominant performance even if there were several hurdles in between.

This marked Medjedovic’s third Challenger title of the year (after Szekesfehervar and Mauthausen Challengers), his maiden on the hard courts. Moreover, this put him around 19 lines away before making it to the Top 100, but this could also be a long way to go for the remainder of the season, despite its possibility. For Mayot, another title had to wait, but this match showed that he still strives for more. Exciting times ahead because there will be 6 simultaneous Challengers throughout the week! (Shanghai, Istanbul, Genoa, Tulln, Cassis, and Seville), all across 2 different surfaces (hard and clay, except Seville with the yellow clay).

[Late Post] Tulln Ch MD F: Alexander Erler/Lucas Miedler [1] def. Zdenek Kolar/Denys Molchanov [4] 6-3, 6-4 mid-match stats (2nd set)

📸 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)

After taking my post-match mandatory rest, here came my recap before I go to another match. Classic.

Erler/Miedler got even more solid, despite Kolar/Molchanov's best efforts to raise their level. The stats, somehow, resonated with me in these parts.

Firstly, regarding their service games, Erler/Miedler's first serves were the most reliable with 78% points won from there (compared to their second serve), added with 3 aces. Somehow, Kolar/Molchanov's first serves were also more reliable in a way because they won their points 5% more from the first than the second serves.

The return games were the most crucial part of this match. They were the source of Erler/Miedler's break point conversions (there were 3 out of their 8 break chances) in comparison to Kolar/Molchanov's one-third on conversion. For once, it was thought that the net played the key part, which was confirmed by the end of the match with Kolar's volley and the break from Erler/Miedler somewhere in the second set.

The Tulln Challenger victory makes it five Challenger titles for Erler/Miedler, previously winning in Helsinki, Forli (2021); Ostrava, Tampere, and Como (2022). What a feat. On to the next match for today's coverage.

[stateofsport211]

🎥 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)

Not Kolar's failed volley to end it all- but before that, Erler's shot placement should also be credited there, since they went for the net approach (and exchange).

Hence, Erler/Miedler successfully converted their match point and won vs. Molchanov/Kolar, 6-3, 6-4. Let's see if I can recap this one for the summary.

[stateofsport211]

🎥 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)

...this was more of a blooper compared to a turning point, but before this, Erler/Miedler managed to break it at 4-3 at the expense of Molchanov's shot error. Then, what was this blooper?

A game later, Molchanov tried to volley that somehow hit Miedler. You might have thought of "new balls please," but no, Miedler was fine. Kolar/Molchanov then managed to hold it at 4-5, until...
