In his first event since the breakout run at Wimbledon (third round from qualifying), August Holmgren claimed the title in Granby. Meanwhile, Dino Prizmic suffered just his second loss in the last 20 matches at the expense of Lukas Klein in the San Marino final. Jan Choinski grabbed his second trophy of the month, while Daniel Merida became this week’s maiden Challenger champion. Read up on last week’s action:<\/p>\n
Dino Prizmic<\/strong> is giving himself plenty of time to rest between tournaments, but has also needed it with all the deep runs he’s reaching. San Marino was on the Croat’s 4th tournament since the start of May with the 19-year-old taking titles in Zagreb and Bratislava before losing in the Milan final<\/a>. This scheduling seems to be working for Prizmic and he only dropped one set on the way to his fourth consecutive final, defeating No. 2 seed Thiago Agustin Tirante in the semifinals.<\/p>\n Lukas Klein<\/strong> has fallen off this year with the Challenger runs coming few and far in between, with most of his best performances presenting themselves rather at the Grand Slam qualifying stage. But that all changed in San Marino. The early matches were still messy with the Slovak taking out No. 1 seed Valentin Royer in a three-setter in the second round. Altitude conditions really suited his aggression and Klein didn’t even drop serve in dismissals of Lukas Neumayer or Matteo Gigante.<\/p>\n
