Martin Klizan is having an extremely weird year. In 2016, the Slovakian has crashed out in a first round 7 times; he reached a second round only in 3 occasions winning 2 ATP500 and reaching the semi in an ATP250.

The last time that Martin reached a second round at ATP level he has won the ATP500 in Rotterdam; then he lost in the first round four consecutive times; then he won the ATP in Hamburg.

In Hamburg, Klizan has annihilated Cuevas 6-1 6-4. In 1 hour.

I didn’t expect to win. KLIZAN

Martin was extremely surprised with the outcome of the week to comment “It’s a great feeling, an amazing feeling. I must say that I didn’t expect I could win this before the tournament started. I’m so happy that my face is going to be on that wall with all these great players! I’m very happy to be next to Miroslav Mecir, who also won this tournament as well.”
