This guy from South Africa looks well on his way to making an impression in professional tennis. He is 21 years old (18/05/1986) and did well in the US college circuit earlier this year (2007). In the month of June he won a strong futures tournament and reached the final in another. Today he is in the final of Winnetka Challenger after coming through qualifying and probably has a good chance to win this event.

He is tall (1.95) and slim but I don't know much about how he plays. But his form profile and improvement looks very promising. Currently ranked 419 he will get into the 200's next week and should get into the top-200 this year, maybe even better.

Kevin took a couple of weeks off after Baton Rouge with some knee tendonitis. He came back this week in Munich and won his first round match vs. Zverev when he retired with a rib injury, and lost a close match to Almagro 2-6 7-5 6-7 (5). He's now back in the top 100 at #88, and has a 4-7 ATP match record this season.

He is playing Madrid qualifying, here is his section:

(7) ANDERSON, Kevin RSA v (WC) CAJIGAL, Alvaro ESP
BOGOMOLOV JR., Alex USA v (11) NAVARRO, Ivan ESP

Very winnable section, hopefully he gets the job done, good luck Kevin!
