Deux tournois aux scénarios très différents ont permis à tenedab d'empocher son 1er titre, dans le 500 d'Hambourg, pendant que srematias a poursuivi son entreprise de démolition de la concurrence, au 250 d'Atlanta. Quatrième titre pour lui cette saison et une avance confortable dans tous les classements avant le début de la tournée estivale américaine.





Nelson LLTL : Congratulations tenedab for your first title after 25 tournaments ! July has been a really good month for you with a semi-final at Wimbledon and this title at Hamburg, and you're now ranked number 4. What happened ?

tenedab : Nothing, just "lucky" winner among the "losers"

Nelson LLTL : What do you think of the new generation of american players ? I'm sure guys like Tiafoe, Donaldson, Escobedo, Paul, Fritz or Opelka could become a top 10 !

tenedab : I am not as sure as you are. While it's possible that some of the young Americans will be top 10 at some point, I doubt it. Maybe some of them will be top 20 if they try hard. As you know it takes a lot of effort, dedication and sacrifice to do it and unfortunately most Americans are not ready for it.
