Career Beach

In 2008, Seidl became Austrian U20 champion in beach volleyball. Since 2009 he has formed a duo with Alexander Huber and played on the FIVB World Tour for the first time that year . At the U20 European Championships in Kos , he finished 13th with Felix Koraimann . With Jörg Wutzl he came in 19th place at the U21 World Championship in Blackpool . In 2010, fifth place at the Challenger tournament in Novi Sad was the best international result for Huber / Seidl. With Helmut Moser , Seidl finished ninth at the U21 World Cup in Alanya . At the national championship, Huber / Seidl were in the final and became Austrian runners-up.

In 2011 they reached the finals of the Baden Satellite and third places in Lausanne (Satellite) and Varna (Challenger). At the Grand Slam in Klagenfurt they defeated the reigning European champions Numberdor / Schuil and finished in 17th place. At the subsequent European Championship in Kristiansand , they came as one of three teams in the preliminary round group with equal points in the round of 16 and lost to the Danes Søderberg / Hoyer . They also became Austrian champions for the first time.

They started the 2012 season with a 13th place at the Brasília Open. At the European Championships in Scheveningen they reached the first knockout round as third in the group and were eliminated after three sets against the Swiss Gabathuler / Gerson . Then they finished fourth at the Masters in Novi Sad. Nationally, the defending champions reached the final and became Austrian runners-up. At the beginning of the 2013 season they got two third places at the satellite tournament in Antalya and the Fuzhou Open. They achieved other top results as fifth in the Baden Masters and fourth in the Grand Slam in The Hague . At the World Championships in Stare Jabłonki they had to admit defeat to the Germans Erdmann / Matysik as third party in the first knockout round . They came in ninth place each at the Grand Slams in Gstaad and Long Beach . At the European Championships in Klagenfurt they won their preliminary group and qualified directly for the round of 16, which they lost against the Norwegians Horrem / Eithun . They finished the year in ninth place at the Grand Slam in Xiamen .

The same result came in early 2014 at the CEV Masters in Baden. At the European Championships in Quartu Sant'Elena , Huber / Seidl reached the first knockout round in third place, in which they said goodbye with a defeat against the Russians Semjonow / Krassilnikow . Between the two Grand Slams in Stavanger and Gstaad, which they both finished in ninth place, they reached the final of the Masters in Novi Sad. At the 2015 World Cup in the Netherlands, they were eliminated as one of the worse group thirds after the preliminary round. They were also unsuccessful on the World Tour in 2015. Things went better at the European Championships in Klagenfurt , when they were third in the group and only lost to the Poles Kantor / Łosiak in the round of 16 . With ninth place at the Masters in Milan and fifth place in Xiamen, the results got better again.

In 2016, Huber / Seidl reached the final of the Doha Open and thus their best result on the World Tour so far, despite the defeat against the vice-European champions Ranghieri / Carambula . In four other open tournaments they were each ninth. The EM in Biel / Bienne, however, ended for them as the bottom of the group after the preliminary round. By winning the European Continental Cup in Stavanger , they qualified for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro . There they defeated the Americans Gibb / Patterson in the preliminary round . They came third in the group of sixteen, which they lost to the Americans Lucena / Dalhausser . After finishing fourth in the Austrian championship, Huber and Seidl ended their long collaboration.

In 2017, Seidl played alongside Tobias Winter , with whom he had mixed results and was eliminated in the first main round of the World Cup in Vienna . In 2018 Seidl started together with Christoph Dressler and later with Philipp Waller , with whom he won the FIVB 3-star tournament in Haiyang .
