Never seen Glennon but I have seen Salisbury a few times and always been impressed. He is a good serve and is great at net so if the courts here are quick he might pull off an upset or two.

spud · Challenger qualifying

Glennon is tall and has a very big serve, probably won't come into net as much as Salisbury though

DWH · Club Coach

Ah always nice to hear of more people with potential. Joe gets the double break and will serve for the match at *5-1

Which he does to love. Nice. smile 7-6(3) 6-1

Pretty big scalp for Salisbury then (but not entirely surprising). These under ranked college players are a nightmare to regular circuit pro's

TMH · Futures qualifying

Wow, didn't realise quite how high his opponent was ranked. Must be a career scalp for Joe?

When does he finish college?

Seem to remember him beating Olivetti (?) last year on the grass and he was around the 300 mark. I am sure the statos will correct me if I am wrong and fill in the details.

Olivetti was outside the top 300 at the time.

Just looked it up. He was ranked 315 at the time, so this definitely is a CH scalp for Joe. Pity he doesn't get a ranking point for it.

QR2: (wc) Connor Glennon UNR v (q7) Bobby Reynolds (USA) WR 179 (CH 63 in 2009)

Reynolds double bagelled Takura Happy in QR1 - presumably the Zimbabwean didn't live up to his name today

Salisbury and Ireland's David O'Hare have a wild card in the doubles, and have draw the Bryans in the first round!
