Polish tennis players traditionally compete for ranking points and cash prizes in the ITF World Tennis Tour. Martyn Pawelski showed a very good team for the second week in a row.

After the maturity exam, Martyn Pawelski can fully concentrate on tennis. Last week, he reached the semi-finals of the ITF World Tennis Tour with a $15,000 prize pool in the Serbian town of Kursumlijska Banja. Now the 18-year-old citizen of Gliwice has improved on that result and will play for the third singles title of his professional career on Sunday.

Pawelski with title shot in Serbia

At the stage of the 1/2 finals, Pawelski again faced the Hungarian Peter Fajta, with whom he had lost in three sets the previous week. This time, our representative was on top. He eventually won 6:4, 6:4 and in Sunday’s final he will meet Frenchman Luka Pavlovic, who reached the main draw by way of elimination.

Other Poles also played on Serbian clay this week. A main tournament duel was won by Paweł Ciaś. At the second round stage, he was stopped by Argentinian Lautaro Midon, who was then beaten by Pawelski in the quarter-finals. Jasza Szajrych and Gabriel Matuszewski started unsuccessfully in the qualifying rounds. The first reached the final stage, but lost the decisive duel.

Zuzanna Bednarz also showed a very good performance in Kursumlijska Banja. The 17-year-old Pole made it through the qualifying rounds and went on to win two matches in the main tournament. However, she did not complete her first professional quarter-final, as she scratched 6:0, 3:1 for Italy’s Beatrice Ricci. Xenia Bandurowska played unsuccessfully on Serbian clay, which had to recognize the superiority of Moroccan Yasmine Kabbaj already in the first round.

Bednarz also successfully competed in doubles, which she competed with Daria Jesypczuk. The Polish-Ukrainian pair have lost just nine games in total in the opening three fixtures and advanced to Saturday’s final. In it, Chinese Meiqi Guo and Serbian Iva Sepa stood in the way of Bednarz and Jesypczuk. The Pole and the Ukrainian finally triumphed 7:6(4), 4:6, 10-8. For our 17-year-old tennis player, this is the first championship on professional courts.

Poles on different continents

In Brescia, Martyna Kubka failed to qualify for a major ITF event, then together with Kazaszka Żibek Kulambajewa reached the quarter-finals in doubles. Gina Feistel qualified in the Slovenian town of Otocec. In the first round of the main ladder, the Pole defeated Canadian Kayla Cross, but then lost in straight sets to second seeded Greece Valentini Grammatikopoulou.

Olivia Lincer spent another week in Japan. This time, the young Pole played in Tokyo, where she was eliminated in the first round of singles and the quarter-finals of doubles. Olivia Bergler and Olivia Cela made their professional debuts in Annenheim, Austria. Only the former made it to the main ladder, although she was unlucky, as she immediately hit the top-seeded Slovenian, Dalila Jakupović.

Two Polish women passed the qualifications in Tunisia in Monastir. Alicja Formella lost in the first round. Joanna Zawadzka won two matches and only stopped her in the quarter-finals after a three-set battle from Italy’s Martin Spigarella. The other White-Reds did not shine this week. In the German Troisdorf Olga Golas and Marcelina Podlińska were eliminated in the qualifying rounds. Aleksandra Zuchańska competed unsuccessfully in the Spanish town of Yecla.

poor bee week

Olaf Pieczkowski played this week in Constanta, Romania. In singles, the Pole lost to Romanian Radu Mihai Papoe in the second round. In doubles, he reached the final with Petr Nesterov. The number two Polish-Bulgarian couple failed to meet top-ranked Uruguayan-Brazilian duo Ignacio Carou and Joao Victor Couto Loureiro 3:6, 6:7(5). Borys Zgoła and Piotr Kusiewicz also played at Konstanca, but they didn’t reach the main draw.

Once again, Kacper Żuk failed. Nowodworzanin can’t find himself at the level of the challengers, so he decided to go back down to the ITF. In the Bosnian city of Kiseljak he was the highest seed, but already in the first round he was beaten by Brazilian Pedro Boscardin Dias 6: 2, 7: 6 (7). Filip Peliwo also ended his performance early by winning in Rome 6:3, 6:2 for Luca Potenza’s Italy opener. However, Marcel Kamrowski did not qualify for the competition in the Italian capital.

The rest of our gentlemen did not achieve remarkable results either. In the Czech Jablonec nad Nysa, Przemysław Michocki, Mateusz Terczyński, Alan Bojarski, Piotr Gryńkowski and Mikołaj Lis failed to qualify. In the Spanish city of La Nucia, Oskar Szymczak and Adam Kaczmarek failed to score. In turn, in the American town of Rancho Santa Fe, Piotr Galus competed unsuccessfully in qualifying.
