Re: Week 6 : Dallas (Entry List)

About time we have an announcer on the stream that know's his tennis! Can't wait to watch, always enjoy when the players in the tournament join you in the booth.
Thanks for the compliment. Being this is the club I work at, its much easier than some of the other Challengers I do. I bring in pros from our club that played on tour, local pros from other clubs in the area, then of course I'll bring in the occasional ATP player. Matches are a week from today.

Re: Week 6 : Dallas (Entry List)

Absolutely terrible draw for Sweeting, not the first round opponent I wanted to see at all.

His luck must turn around at some point. Hopefully, during this tournament! On the bright side, Sweeting has beaten Smyczek twice, once at an ATP 250 (Houston 2011), and also in the final qualifying round of a Challenger in Atlanta in 2010. But, who knows if past results will account for anything. With Smyczek's revival as of late, it seems very unlikely that Ryan will do well here. Fingers Crossed!

Could be a good draw for Ryan. Tim has a sore knee and was close to pulling out this week, so ya never know.
