(July 25, 2011) Considering the usual hustle and bustle of the professional tennis world, last week was rather quiet.
The U.S. Open series began with the Atlanta Tennis Championships, while the post-Wimbledon clay court tournaments continued at the German Tennis Championships in Hamburg.
This week, however, is quite different because there are five tournaments.
Fish could have a tricky second-round match against Atlanta semifinalist Gilles Muller of Luxembourg and then 2007 Australian Open finalist Fernando Gonzalez of Chile.
There are also two clay-court tournaments in Europe this week.
At the other tournament, the Swiss Open in Gstaad, Switzerland, Almagro and Stanislas Wawrinka are the top seeds.
The post-Wimbledon clay-court season comes to an end next week at the Bet-At-Home Cup in Kitzbuhel, Austria.
Both of the WTA’s tournaments are in the United States.
Serena Williams is also in the tournament, and she could play Sharapova in the third round.
