GL klein, broady, nielsen

 

[CHIP72]

Re: Week 29: Binghamton, NY, USA [Entry List]

I'm not surprised to see either Jared Donaldson (who also played Binghamton last year) or Francis Tiafoe in the entry list. Hopefully either or both make good runs at the tournament.

Re: Week 29: Binghamton, NY, USA [Entry List]

Dimi is IN

 

[Redkop]

Re: Week 29: Binghamton, NY, USA [Entry List]

Back to the reality world for Liam Broady.

Jared Donaldson to take the title with ease here

Re: Week 29: Binghamton, NY, USA [Entry List]

GL Jarry and Reid :wavey:

Re: Week 29: Binghamton, NY, USA [Entry List]

This tournament starts right as I'm leaving the area and moving back to Europe :tape: Maybe I'll make it on Monday or the qualifying weekend.

Nice to see Broady, Sweeting, Nielsen, Kuznetsov here. Nice field with quite some players I've never seen in real life.

Re: Week 29: Binghamton, NY, USA [Entry List]

Where is Mitchell Frank? He graduated from UVA and has finished up his eligibility on the UVA tennis team. He played great in Futures last summer, beating players like Broady, but has been MIA so far this summer. He has the potential to be a decent pro. He and Kudla are buddies and played together at the USTA training center in Maryland, the same one that groomed Tiafoe.

GL in the MD to all the Americans and to Klein and Nielsen!!

OUT: Arevalo
IN: Pavic

Pavic has to choose, he is also IN on Granby list

Re: Week 29: Binghamton, NY, USA [Entry List]

OUT: Arevalo
IN: Pavic

Pavic has to choose, he is also IN on Granby list

Unless he thinks he'll make a deep run at Binghamton, you have to figure Pavic will play Granby, which is a $100K tournament; Binghamton is a $50K tournament.

Tommy :cheerleader:

Might be in with a shot at a WC. But so will Fritz and Opelka :lol:

I won't be making it here probably, since I will be away in the weekend. I'd need a friend to drive me there on Tuesday maybe.

Unless he thinks he'll make a deep run at Binghamton, you have to figure Pavic will play Granby, which is a $100K tournament; Binghamton is a $50K tournament.

Pavic has withdrawn from Granby, he is still IN here, but could think about Bogota too

For the fourth straight year, Americans competing on the USTA Pro Circuit will have the chance to earn a wild card into the US Open.

In the US Open Wild Card Challenge, the U.S. man and U.S. woman who earn the most ATP World Tour and WTA ranking points at two of three selected USTA Pro Circuit hard-court events this summer will earn main-draw wild cards into the 2015 US Open. Only Americans who did not earn direct entry into the Open are eligible.

The men’s challenge gets underway at the $50,000 Levene Gouldin & Thompson Tennis Challenger in Binghamton, N.Y., the week of July 20.

Besides Binghamton, the men's tournaments are the $50,000 Kentucky Bank Tennis Championships in Lexington, Ky., the week of July 27, and the $100,000 Comerica Bank Challenger in Aptos, Calif., the week of Aug. 10.

Re: Week 29: Binghamton, NY, USA [Entry List]

Tommy Paul D), Reilly Opelka, Noah Rubin and Kyle Edmund have been awarded main draw wildcards to Bingers next week

A pair of reigning Grand Slam junior champions are among four players to receive wild card selections into the main draw for this year's Levene Gouldin & Thompson Tennis Challenger at Recreation Park.

Americans Tommy Paul and Reilly Opelka, this year's French Open and Wimbledon boys's singles champions, respectively, earned wild card entries along with 2014 Wimbledon boys singles champion Noah Rubin and Great Britain's Kyle Edmund.
