The last week was marked by the fairy tale of Marvin Moeller, 1495th ATP, ‘is completed on the German carpet. After paying for the seed number 1, Kamil Majchraz, the German was stopped 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 by the Indian. This performance from Moeller was absolutely impossible to see coming. Since the restart, the German had only played 4 games for a single victory, in the very first round of qualifying for the Hamburg Challenger against the Turkish Cem Ilkel, 217th worldwide. The 21-year-old is revealed after being taken away from the courts for more than a year due to a wrist injury.

Moeller lived with the pain for a year. For a long time, many doctors could not determine his actual injury, which is why he had to skip the entire season in 2019 and half of the 2018 season. Before his injury, the German had only played 7 Challengers and had only played the first round twice at this level without ever succeeding in reaching this milestone. His only title had been won in 2017 in Germany, it was only a small $ 25,000. Returned in March after more than a year and a half of absence, Moeller won a small qualifying match of $ 15,000 before being confined. Not necessarily very fit since the resumption, the young player should crack the top 600.
