holy shite he's in HS? damn. looks like he came back after a shite first set to dominate the rest of the match, though.

i saw the younger Radwanska play today. she looked like shite to begin the third set but apparently came back to win after i left.

best match i saw and stayed at for a while was Denisa Allertova beating Miharu Imanishi. Great match. Allertova looked damn good at the end. she got pretty frustrated for a bit there but came back down 2 in the 3rd.

Yup, and I had a little coin on him today at +130. Go check out Rhyne Williams if you get a chance. He plays pretty soon. He's been struggling lately, so I'd be interested in hearing how he looks.

Yeh. He is in the main draw doubles with Noah Rubin. They won Kalamazoo dubs and got the wild card

possibly on friday, just depends on what's going on with some other stuff i need to take care of. i want to get back out there. definitely going on tuesday night of next week. excited to see who we will get…i'm guessing djoker, as they will probably have Fed play opening night. and on the women's side, we may get Sharapova or Radwanksa…wouldn't be upset with either. i saw venus before and i've seen Fed as well, so i'd be happy to see some new faces.

eta: those drop shots are sick

Draw has been relesed. Novak is looking at possibly an Isner Round of 16, a Murray or Tsonga quarter and a Stan semi. Fed could get Dimitrov in the quarter, otherwise it's an easy quarter and Ferrer or Berdych in the semis. I think some of these guys like Tsonga and Berdych lose early, really blowing the draw open and making it super easy for the top guys.

I've been following Kozlov for about two years now. Liked him at first, given his unique his style, but the more and more I see his matches televised, I don't really care for his sportsmanship/antics on the court. That said, his win over Frank yesterday was pretty nice considering that Frank is one of the top 5 college players who has been on a tear this entire summer.

And the knock on Kozlov has been his projected size...that being said, Kozlov looks like he towers over Rubin in those junior Wimbledon pics. Will be interesting to see how Rubin does playing 1 or 2 at Wake Forest this coming year.

All that side, there is a pretty nice crop of up and coming American juniors between 16-18 years of age with Mmoh, Rubin, Altamarino, Kozlov, Escobedo, and Donaldson. American junior tennis hasn't been this good since Chang, Wheaton, Courrier, Agassi, Sampras era.

he was bitching at line judges, and his overall demeanor was shite after he went down in the first set. i think he ended up changing his shirt at some point too? he wiped everything but his arse between every fricking point.

dude. you're 16. stop being a fricking prema donna and just play tennis.

you could kinda fell Frank was getting pissed at him for delaying his serve.

That seems to be his MO. Again, very interesting/unique style of tennis, but he's turned pro and really needs to stop acting like a junior brat on the court and get rid of the women's tennis bathroom breaks, medical time outs and in game delays when he's losing.

Jared Donaldson is probably the top American junior at this point, but he too has a McEnroe-ish personality on the court.

These kids all have great potential, but I won't pull for them like I don't Serena simply because they are American if they act like a bunch of punks on the court.
