Marterer beat Tomas Martac 6: 7 (3), 6: 2 and 7: 5 in the final. Strong: The 25-year-old only gave up his serve once in the entire week, in the third set in the final. Before that, he had consistently celebrated two-set wins, in round 1 also against compatriot Julian Lenz. In the quarterfinals he benefited from a cancellation by Sergiy Stakhovsky.
In the new world rankings, Marterer will again stalk his way up to the top 200, in the live ranking he is currently listed on place 208. He was already in 45th place, but recently had to contend with injuries.
