What a pity but at least they got the winning feeling once in the tournament.

Vandenburg - change your bet to in the next 5 years and you may have a chance of winning.

If Dev Varman can brush Baker aside like that the world is his oyster!

Disappointing to see Baker lost, but it was expected, and at he least he did better in the 2nd set after a pretty average opener.

They get a week off before next week then, where I guess they'll be in US Open and/or New Haven qualies, which won't be much easier for them it seems.

mjd · Challenger qualifying

To complete the qualifying story -

R Kendrick (USA) d A Golubev (KAZ) 62 46 76
R Delgado (PAR) d K Kim (USA) 67(7) 64 62

R De Voest (RSA) d P Cuevas (URU) 76(4) 64

Somdev drew Taylor Dent, which means he has a good chance of getting his first Tour win.

Salmon · Tennis legend

Somdev won in three.

It'll probably be LaLo next, which won't be easy.

Salmon · Tennis legend

Kendrick took out LaLo, while Safin retired against Fognini. Could Somdev do what Isner did last year?

Somdev didn't get a wild card but Ignatik got one! But maybe Roddick got it for him as he trains at his brother's academy.

Actually the reason is that Ignatik is managed by BEST, which also runs this tournament - http://www.experiencebest.com/sports/tennis

Konta is managed by them, I see, so hopefully she'll get a wild card into Lexington next year if she needs it.

Somdev beat Kendrick and makes the quarters. Plays Kunitsyn now, which is a match he should win and then he may get the chance to face Roddick.

JMDP keeps winning - streak is 16 matches long now. Faces Isner now.

Salmon · Tennis legend

Somdev lost.

But JMDP ended up beating Haas by 2 and 1.

This guy is unreal now - bet none of the top 4 seeds would want him in their section.

Will play Kunitsyn or Troicki in the final, so there's a good chance that he'll win four titles in a row!

Yeah JMDP is on fire, I hope he can make R4 in the USO!

Salmon · Tennis legend

And he got his fourth title in a row... Surely there's no one who backed up his first title with three more!

He's due to play New Haven next week! But I think he will withdraw...
