L32: (7) Josh Goodall WR 189 v Marcel Felder (URU) WR 268 L32: James Ward WR 206 v (5) Eduardo Schwank (ARG) WR 161 Given the surface, Josh couldn't have asked for much nicer draw, with a qualifier or the Dominican Republic's finest (Estrella) awaiting the winner in R2 and if Wardy had to get a seed in R1 h...

The winner of this match will play (1) Rajeev Ram (USA) WR 105 or Scoville Jenkins (USA) WR 269. Ram's ranking rocketed after he won Newport ATP last m...

Boggo is the reigning champion here, but whether or not he will play is touch and go, obviously. Evo is definitely in, either as a late DA or as a special exempt since he is still playing in Lexington. Meanwhile,as with all tournaments held in Québec (it seems), the qualifying draw is ridiculously wea...

QR1: (q3) Dan Cox WR 478 v (WC) Sergey Sukhov (RUS) UNR A seeding in qualifying was the best Dan could realistically hope for when he entered, and he's got a very reasonable draw here, with (5) Artur Chernov (RUS) WR 599 the highest-ranked player standing in the way of a place in the main draw. Good luck!...
