World's Top 20&U Player.
(Preview)
We were having a small discussion in the Lexy thread, so I thought we'd have a thread to track the progress (till the end of 2009) of all players born in 1989 and later. I want this thread here and not in the General section just because it involves Evans in a major way. Do players actually care about being t...

Week 29 - ATP ($450,000) - Indianapolis, USA - Doubles
(Preview)
Huss and Hutchins are back on the ATP tour this week and are the 2nd seeds in a rather weak looking doubles draw, with no real top pairs involved. They begin against Kevin Kim and Bobby Reynolds, which should be a nice starter for them, but given their run of form, nothing will be too certain for them. Have...

He has drawn Julio Cesar Campozano of Ecuador in round one, with either Mariano Zabaleta or a qualifier in round two, so...
