Who's New: Jurgen Zopp
The 23-year old from Estonia is charging hard in the Challenger ranks to start off 2012. Zopp reeled off his sixth straight Challenger win on Wednesday, beating Marcus Crugnola 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the quarters of the Bergamo Challenger. Zopp won the Kazan Challenger for his first title above the Futures ranks. He also ran through qualifying in the Australian Open for a trip to his first main draw at a Grand Slam.
Zopp ranks as Estonia's top male player, currently ranked #121. His wins and hunt for titles so far shouldn't come as a surprise. Zopp made two Challenger finals on hard courts late in 2011, but fell short in the Championship matches in both. Zopp takes on Russia's Alexandre Kudryavtsev in Bergamo. A win pushes Zopp into another Challenger semifinal and in prime position for a shot at his second title. Learn the name, Jurgen Zopp because you just may see it on a handful of trophies this season.
