Actually, Roberto Carretero won the 1996 Hamburg Masters with a pre-tourney
ranking of #143. He won only 1 tour title and $680,000 for his whole career!!!

That is a deep dive, Sneaky.  Crazy.

As for Janowicz, he had actually gotten some buzz before Paris and shown potential, unlike Krajinovic, who is literally doing this out of nowhere.  No Fed, Novak, Murray, or Wawa, and a retirement from Rafa, and I guess this is what happens.

LOL....yeah I would wager a polish sausage is smarter than
Janowicz is while playing Tennis!!! You got to admit any player
that thinks they could win almost every point with a drop shot
is a bit crazy or stupid!!!

The same happened with the Memphis Open, in February, which was moved to Uniondale, in Long Island, New York.

It's nothing personal, but it could get tricky without the backup.
