WEEK: 07.25.2016
Andrej Martin gets top honors this week. His impressive showing in Umag, which resulted in his getting to his first career ATP World Tour final, also propelled him into the top 100 for the first time. This is a career high for the Slovak. Hopefully he will build on this and get to many more finals and get to lift many trophies. I was impressed by his fitness and his determination. He seems to have a very high tennis IQ as well, which can only work in his favor as he gains more experience. He appeared mentally strong and was done in because he was exhausted; thus, despite his will he was physically incapable of mounting the resistance necessary to compete against his gifted opponent, Fabio Fognini, in the final.
