Good first round matchups here.

Kozlov's first-ever Futures win? At least it's the first this year.

Of course it is first ever

[out_here_grindin]

Ryan Thacher in his frst official pro event. He just went pro. He hd one more year at Stanford left.

Do you mean to get his degree or what? Because I'm sure he has no eligibility left.

[Snowwy]

Which is weaker, F21 or F20? Hard to say, but really I could see Kozlov getting to the final. Any result other than Ramirez winning this will be laughable.

Does Jung's win over Kozlov make this more of a weak tournament or does it show that Jung may be a better player than you thought?

[Snowwy]

Jung should beat Kozlov, but so should have Adams and probably his first round opponent. Kozlov was bagelled in the first set, not sure if you noticed that.

I think Thatcher is probably the second strongest player left. Does that mean he will make it to the semis and lose to Ramirez? Maybe, or maybe not since matchups play a role but I wouldn't be surprised to see that. The top part of the draw is really weak and anyone beating anyone is not surprising, since someone has to win.

I dunno about you, but I have been waiting for Nevelo to have some results for a couple of years now, I think he could be a top 500 player done the line, maybe even a bit more. And Podzus is interesting too, actually.

His first round opponent is also very young and with no pro matches, nothing between them in that match

[Smoke944]

I wanted Thacher to win this tourny but he lost 6-4 6-7 6-7

Btw I am pleasantly surprised he is giving professional tennis a shot. It sounds surprising but I legitimately thought he would go right to grad school. Extremely studious guy that I never thought really focused on tennis or maximized his potential. I mean he twice turned down USO QWC, once because he didn't want to miss the start of his freshman year.
We'll see where he can go, hope he has a good coach. If nothing else he can be an ATP doubles player.
Here's an article on him:
