MOTW: Peter Gojowczyk
In comparison to last season when he made it to two finals, this season has been mediocre for the German. He lost in the first or second round of all the tournaments he played prior to the Citi Open, where he got to the semifinals. Like so many players, his ranking fell due to an injury and it has taken him a while to regain that confidence. The older you get, the harder it is to bounce back both mentally and physically from an injury. At thirty-years-old, if he stays healthy, Gojowczyk still has a few more productive years where he can potentially win his second ATP Tour title. If he did not believe this, he would not have put in the work to recover from his most recent injury.
