Tribute: Pavic Completes Rise To No. 1

Mate Pavic was going through final match preparations with his Austrian partner Oliver Marach on Friday, stretching his muscles, with one eye on a nearby television screen, when he learned — below ground level at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia, prior to competing on the picturesque Pietrangeli court — that he had achieved one of his long-time goals.

Following an 8-4 start to 2018, failing to reach a final in his first four events, the 2017 Nitto ATP Finals qualifier was not even the top-ranked German in the Race (Peter Gojowczyk, 28th).
