Quick Hits: Sock, Kerber, Schmiedlova, & Klizan Grab Titles

Jack Sock won an All-US final in Houston by defeating Sam Querrey 7-6, 7-6. Sock is 10-2 in 2015. His heavy forehand gives him a true weapon. Sock may find himself typically residing within the top 30 on the ATP Tour.
Angelique Kerber managed to avoid a lot of near losses while grabbing the title in South Carolina. After trailing 1-4 in the final set, Kerber rallied to take the title 6-2, 4-6, 7-5.
Sam Querrey’s runner-up finish in Houston is a good sign for his form as well.
Madison Keys fought back nicely today, but perhaps felt a few nerves late in the 3rd set. With experience, Keys will likely learn to finish matches like these with wins more and more often.
Anna Schmiedlova took the title in Poland. She is a player to watch during the clay court swing as confidence can make a huge difference to a player’s results.
Martin Klizan confirmed his status as a talented if not mercurial player on the ATP Tour with a title in Morocco.
