Vita

I started playing Tennis at the age of 4. In 2000 I entered my first ATP tournament in Eckental. In 2001 I decided to play tennis as a professional. Starting 2002, my girlfriend Lena travels with me to the tournaments allover the world.

In August 2004 I reached the Top 100 in the ATP ranking for the first time.  The victory at the Bavarian Open in 2007, which was one of two ATP rankings I reached, was one of the best moments in my career.
In February 2008 I reached antorher milestone in my career. I was ranked number one in germany as I was the highest ranked player in the ATP ranking.  That still is an awesome feeling. I enjoy playing for germany which explains why I was mostly playing pretty well for germany.
My career high till today is 22 which i reached in 2009. Actually it ist he most important thing for me to improve my game by working very hard. Every single day.
