Sam's form has taken a turn for the better in US Open quallies :)
Unseeded, he played Adrian Menendez of Spain in the first round. Sam scored a solid 7-6(4) 6-4 win over the World No.222.

Now, in the second round of qualifying, Groth faces Tobias Kamke of Germany. Interesting match up, fingers crossed for another win :)

Smeets has just has his citizenship pushed through by TA and is being sent to Chile as a seventh player! We might not have the quality but we will sure swamp them by sheer weight of numbers!

Begs the Question. Is Fitzy planning to play Smeets in the doubles with Gooch? (thus Groth will lose his place) and if Smeets has only just become an Aussie why have TA given him two Aust and one French grand slam wildcards? :( Another question. If a DC player has to have been a resident of the country he represents for 3 years prior to the tie how did Ball, who has always resided in the US gain eligibility? Just wondering! :confused:

Sam is making his return to competitive tennis this week playing in a Malaysian future tournament where he is the number 2 seed before heading to Japan to play two successive challengers. This is a good way for Sam to ease back into competition with a future tournament to build some confidence before the Aussie summer.

Groth has this week made the semi-finals of the Yokohama Challenger. Well done to him and good to see that he is in a bit of form for the Australian summer.
