Really pleased to see Oliver Okonkwo being given a wildcard into the main draw (college related, I would assume)
He's drawn the 5th seed, which is a little unfortunate; the lad had a lot of good qualities as a junior, it'll be interesting to see how he develops in college tennis.
I've been following his progress a little and, not that I know what it all means really, but it reads well enough:
"Hawk Items -- Won 24 doubles matches in the fall and spring as a freshman, which ties for second most all-time in program history.
Spring 2019 Won 27 singles matches in the spring, which ranks fourth all-time in school history, and the most ever by an Iowa freshman recorded 18 singles wins in the spring, which rank 11th most in program history mostly saw action on courts two, three, and four posted a 9-1 record playing at No. 3 registered first win over ranked opponent, bouncing No. 54 Mattias Siimar of Michigan in straight sets won seven of his last nine singles decisions won 16 doubles matches with partner Will Davies, including a 10-2 record at No. 2 and a 6-3 mark on court one won three doubles matches over ranked opponents, including a program-best win over No. 8 Nemeth/De La Basse of Penn State Davies/Okonkwo were ranked as high as No. 58 nationally Dean's List honoree... letterwinner."
For the others:
Mark Whitehouse has drawn a wildcard and Jack Findel-Hawkins a qualifier, so that looks decent enough.
Lloyd Glasspool is in the doubles, not the singles, which is a little strange.
