ATP World Tour review for July
Defending champions Serbia will have in Sweden their obstacle towards the semifinals guided by their star Novak Djokovic who is having a wonderful year.
Moving into the second half of the season, July will have its own attractive despite no Masters 1000 or Grand Slams being disputed in that month. Variety is what will make of its 31st days appealing for fans, and it will be a great chance for young talents to start making a name of their own. While for the four nations that have made it into the Davies Cup Quarter-finals it will be a motivation to show off their patriotism.
July kicks off at the Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Championship in Newport, Rhode Island, which is also the last grass surface tournament of the season, and the only one in North America that is disputed in this type of court. After 35 editions the tournament is still looking for a top seed to claim title and put an end to what has become known as ‘the casino curse', moniker allusive to its location at the Newport Casino. American Mardy Fish is the defending champion, but it is John Isner who will try to break the course as the first top seed to clinch title from July 4-10.
Meanwhile from July 7-10 the 2011 World Group Quarter-finals will be held in two continents: America and Europe. In Buenos Aires, Argentina will receive Kazakhstan, and in Texas, U.S.A. will do the same with Spain. While in Stuttgart, Germany plays France, and in Halmstad, Sweden will try to stop the defending champions Serbia.
After a month of June exclusive for grass courts, the clay surface tournaments return on July 11 with the MercedesCup and the SkiStar Swedish Open. This type of surface has been dominated by Argentines and Spaniards in recent times, which will make of them the players to watch after.
Spaniard Alonso Montanes will defend title at the MercedesCup in Sttugart, Germany, which runs from July 11-17 in the clay courts of Tennis Club Weissenhof. There is a special bonus for the winner on top of the prize money: a Mercedes car. Russian Nikolay Davidenko will be the top seed, in what will be his fifth attempt to win in a tournament where he hasn't been able to make it past the semifinals.
At the same time, from July 11-17 the SkiStar Swedish Open will be disputed in Bastad, Sweden. This clay court event has been voted for the last eight consecutive years (2002-09) by players as the ATP World Tour 250 Tournament of the Year, recognition that pretty much speaks for itself about its dimensions. Defending champion Spaniard Nicolas Almagro will have his biggest menace in home favorite and top seed Robin Soderling.
The only ATP 500 tournament of the month, the bet-at-home Open - German Tennis Championships 2011, will have Hamburg vibrating when the fans pack the clay courts of the Rothenbaum Tennis Center from July 18-24. World No. 82 Andrey Golubev stunned everyone last year by becoming not only the first player from Kazakhstan to win the tournament, but also the first player form the country to win an ATP World Tour title.
In the same time, July 18-24 the Atlanta Tennis Championship will be held at Georgia's capital city, in what will be the first hard surface tournament of the month. 28 singles and 16 doubles will be disputing $531,000 in prize money. Its last edition gave fans an epic final, with a thrilling third-set-tie break between John Isner and Mardy Fish, which was won by Fish.
Switzerland and its wonderful landscape give a special ingredient to the Crédit Agricole Suisse Open Gstaad. This clay court event will be disputed from July 25-31 with Spaniard Nicolas Almagro as defending champion, who will try to become the first player since Sergi Bruguera in 1994 to win two consecutive titles.
The second event that will be disputed simultaneously will be the Farmers Classic, famous for being the longest running annual professional event in the city of Los Angeles. Its hard court was dominated last year by American Sam Querrey, who won his second title in a row, just like Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan did in doubles, which set a record in the tournament by being the first time in the its 84-year history that the singles and doubles champions defended their title successfully.
And the third tournament to be held from July 25-31 will be the ATP Studena Croatia Open. Its clay court saw Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero crowned as the 2010 champion over unseeded Potio Starace from Italy, who lost in two sets 6-4, 6-4. This tournament has contributed to increase tourism in the city of Umag, becoming a symbol of a high-quality summer spot.
The ATP World Tour will be saying goodbye to July at the Bet-At-Home Cup Kitzbühel in Austria. This will be the second before last clay court event of the season, which will be returning to the city after a one-year absence. Its last winner was Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in a tournament that since has been historically dominated by South American players.
With this review over what the ATP World Tour has scheduled for the month of July we say goodbye, but not without reminding you to stay tuned, for we'll go over what August has to offer sometime soon.
