Week 4 - Futures F3 ($10K) - Tamarac, FL, USA - clay
(

(Preview)
Another huge qualifying draw here. Smethurst, Phillips and Cox are DAs once again. You would have thought the Wardinator must have a special exempt place here, but no, he seems to be being forced to qualify again, which implies that he had to play two matches in different locations today, since qua...

Bloomers is a DA here ... and 'notso' (haven't seen him for a while) is 43rd Alt for qualifying - sadly that probably means he won't get in!

A more 'open' US Open
(Preview)
This sounds like a cool idea - the USTA are running sixteen (up to) 256-player pre-pre-qualifying events for the USO in an attempt to make it seem completely 'Open' - the ultimate prize for one of the c. 4000 entrants will be a wild card into qualifying for the US Open itself. http://www.usopen.org/US...
