Gianluca Mager At A Career High
Mover of the week honors go to twenty-five-year-old, Gianluca Mager. Mager broke unto the scene in 2013 and en route to his first ATP Tour final, he defeated the heir apparent on clay, Dominic Thiem. Perhaps it was a bit too much to ask of the Italian, to win his first title in his first final appearance. On any other surface perhaps, but on clay where each point can be so long and physically demanding, his chances were decreased simply because of fatigue. If he was not physically drained, he more than like was mentally fatigued. He had to go through the qualifying rounds and then beat some very good players on clay to get to the final. Bravo to him, so while he did not win the Rio Open title, this is a huge step for him and hopefully he will build on this result and keep climbing up the rankings.
