Fritz, Mmoh, Donaldson, Tiafoe, and Paul all made the main draw in the Memphis 250 starting this week.

Steve O v. Taylor Fritz. I'm not going to be able to watch this, but i look forward to seeing how it plays out.

I do think Steve O -200 is the play.

Fritzy should get a nice rankings bump off this.

Kei ground him down a bit. In the first set, I said to myself "holy s---, this kid is Del Potro." He was retrieving well and just bludgeoning the ball in a way that only Delpo or Berdych can do. It occurred to me that I did see one of his qualifier matches in Australia, and he seemed slow that day. So, I think he wears out a lot during matches. That said, barring injury or fatigue issues, this kid should be top 10 in a couple of years.

Yeah, I questioned him a few weeks ago. I was wrong. He's real.

JMdP makes his return tomorrow vs Kudla. Top 15 by year's end?

I doubt it. I'd like to see him stay healthy first.

At 27 it's a bit of shame his career has turned out like it has. Wasn't it like 2 years since his last match before yesterday?

Fritz looked a little mentally fatigued out there last night. Smyczek was making him work.
