Riegler and Langman are flawless

In the first set, national champion Josef Riegler beat tennis legend Martin Legner (6:0, 3:6, 6:3) and WTA champion Gerhard Schuster (6:1, 6:1) and booked the final ticket. There he meets Nico Langmann, who secured the group victory with victories over Martin Horz-Weber (7:5, 6:2) and US Open semi-finalist Maxi Tuscher (6:1, 2:6, 6:1).
