Patrik Olivier Fischer...2005 graduate of Alpenstrasse in Biel, Bern, Switzerland...was ranked 13th in the Swiss men singles rankings...reached ITF Finals in Denmark in 2003...intends on majoring in business. Coach Anger on Fischer:
"I really think this will be Patrik's best season. He's just more of a well-rounded player. He is still as consistent and solid as ever, but he's added to his serve, and his ability to finish points. He is just able to play now against so many more styles."
