This dude named Bulmberg is very impressive player. he isn't the #1 guy at UNC either. who is this guy and why haven't we heard of him ?
Talented freshman who will probably end up winning the tournament.

He might but Thai looked good today. Chris Eubank gave him a tough match. I was on the second row with my son watching.
Rattler
Hall of Fame
He was a pretty impressive Jr, maybe half a notch below the Fritz, Tiafoe level.

It'll be a question of fitness for the men's semis. Both Blumberg and Kwiatkowski have had a heavy dose of tennis now the past seven days. Borges and Fawcett considerably less so. But from what I've seen of Blumberg, he's more impressive than what Rubin looked like as a freshman. Something tells me he will stay one more year then go pro unless he wins this thing. He's got the game for the next legs for sure

He's won 24 consecutive matches. If you haven't heard of him, that's on you.
And he played #2 for UNC. Clear stack.
SouthernCourts
Semi-Pro
It wasn't much of a stack. Right NOW, he's ranked 16th and Schneider is 22nd. But for most of the season, Schneider was ranked higher. Schneider was also a senior. The lineup made total sense.

Got it. I forgot everyone was giving you **** about UVa stacking. I think that's a little bit worse, but not much. When your no. 1 guy goes to a breaker with Torpegaard, hard to say he doesn't deserve to be there.
I'
Fawcett dominating the field. Thai son may just run away in fear
ll take a team title and a semi appearance all day. Gonna have to beat two ACC guys. I'll take the ACC guys.
Blumberg crushed Thai in the team play. The ACC is the best tennis conference this year, hands down, on the mens side. Final could be a rematch from the team play, Blumberg, UNC, vs Kwiatkowski, UVA guy. We'll see. Wake plays in the ACC too and has a shot at the dubs title.

LMAO TSK toys with the leaky Fawcett 6-3, 6-2 to advance to the finals
Fawcett might be able to play #3 doubles for UVA.

Blumberg vs. Kwiatkowski for the singles title tomorrow. That bodes well for UNC.
They have played 3 times already this year. Blumberg won at ACCs in straights, at NCAAs in straights and was up 4-2 in the 3rd set when UVA clinched at ITAs.

Nope. All ACC final in team play and individual single play. Thai vs Fawcett really not that close.
True but kudos to Tom for making it to the final four. I can't say anyone in this thread realistically thought he was capable of doing this well in the tournament.

Very true. Let's not let Feddy cause us to slight Fawcett. Making the final four would be a good run for pretty much any player in the country.

Who his Blumberg dude ? is he American or English ? sounds like he is English. then he won't get the Wildcard into US open. USTA doesn't give out WC to foreign college players. If he is so good then why hasn't he done anything in the challengers ?

Fawcett will be ranked #1 in college next year and win the NCAA title next year. Mark my words...
Why not? He had a great draw, was seeded 8th and lost to a lower seed. I'll say kudos to the ACC. The teams that finished first and second in team play, UVA and UNC have two singles players playing in the finals. Now that's a heck of a run!
I'll stay in the present and watch two ACC guys go at it for the singles title.

Get this straight.... he is an American, ok but nobody is talking about him like he is going to do anything in the pro tour. Guys like Isner and Steve Johnson had been talked about as great Pro potential as soon as they were freshmen in their colleges and USTA development couldn't wait til they turned pro. but this guy Blumberg, no one is talking about him
Doubles
Legend
Your opinion, based on absolutely nothing, is entirely irrelevant as to whether or not he's going to turn pro. Making the singles final as a freshman is already better than what Johnson or Isner did at 18 or 19. If that's our measuring stick, then Blumberg is already ahead of them in terms of early development.
