I was there today. Seriously hot! Sorry I didn't keep tract of all the matches. Bad me. I could only stand to watch one match though.

ATP has it as Williams won 6-1 3-1 Ret.

Other results:

Ledovskikh beat Grigelis 7-6 (4) 6-1
Berankis beat Wang 6-4 6-3
Nevolo beat Yani 1-6 7-6 (6) 6-4
Chiudinelli beat Strode 6-1 6-4
Udomchoke beat Duclos 6-0 6-4
Kuznetsov beat Duckworth 6-2 3-6 7-6 (2)

Yani sent into near-retirement, I think.

Between Williams, Sandgren, Buchanan, and Domijan, who do you think will have the best post-college career?

Tough question
Brb, I will give my thoughts in a second.

[Smoke944]

Well first of all, I think Domijan has by far the most potential. Yeah his movement and backhand obviously need work, but his forehand is HUGE and he has the type of serve you expect for a guy of his size.
Only thing is, I've never seen him as very passionate and I'm not sure if we can be positive that he will fulfill all his potential.

As for Chase, he is a solid all-around player that I think should concentrate on clay, because it suits his game best. Having said that, I'm not sure if he will ever go out of his way to play red clay tournaments.

Tennys and Rhyne are both pretty talented baseliners that I think will have great results on American hardcourts.

To answer your question, I think Domijan should as long as he puts in the work.

why kendrick, russel and kosakowski play at panama not here?

[Qampunen]

Quite an impressive defeat from Benni
The change from grass to hard court could have played against him.
He did lose lo Levodskikh (outside the top 300) at Hertogenbosch too.
I'm sure that as soon as he gets used to playing in hard courts again he'll be getting
far in the tournaments
Good luck, Benni!... and congratulations to Sandgreen

[Nathaliia]

I am not a specialist on US players but at least Sandgren already has done an impact on the futures tour, so he is the most likely to have success... now this win over Becker like Benji was some amateur...

Williams also showed himself from a good side already

russell and kosakowski probably wanted clay, and kendrick maybe wanted sightseeing

well, they expected lots of local mugs to be easy to beat probably, unlike in US challenger where you get nothing for free in most cases

apparently all 3 americans had bad draw in panama

[outrider]

kendrick is playing panama because his good friend witten get a direct entry there and they will play doubles together, too.
