Speaking of Americans making a ripple, Sam Querrey is into the semis at Eastborne, his first semi since last august.
Plays winner of Fe Lopez and Chardy, currently in rain delay. Lopez has played well and might be a bit fatigued, esp if he has to play back to back matches tmrw.
Go Sam!
Speaking of young Americans, is team CA in the UK???
Why would Lopez play again this week, with Wimbledon right around the corner and going all the way to the final in Queens last week? I swear, some of the scheduling choices of certain players just leave me baffled.

DY still yet to win a match at Wimbledon in singles or doubles throughout his entire career.

Maybe he is a secret Brit?
Future aspirations in academics, say as The Don of an Oxford college? He might have more success!
He's never going to improve, when he's practicing with juniors his whole career
I thought u were hitting with him?? Isnt that what u said before/during the French??
All preparation is now for Cincy
Thread bump (from page 7?)...DY bounced @Newport 1R in straights by Groth. Poor showing on grass in '14 from boys Wimby'07 champion.
Groth would have been a bad draw for anyone on grass. He just qualified at Wimby. Not to mention his size, serve, and style of play.
Groth is grooved right now...his loss to Kyrgios in the Nottingham Challenger final prior to Wimby was in 2 TBs, then he won his three qualie matches for the Wimby main draw spot before losing to Dog 1R 5-7, 6-7, 6-7. He's tough when he's on but DY is significantly higher ranked and should at least win a set.
Bottom line...he played three grass tourneys and advanced to 2R once, losing all his matches in straight sets. He needed to do a bit better to keep the little bit of momentum he gained @RG. It's a rollercoaster ride for the guy right now. Hopefully, getting home to Atlanta (I'm assuming he plays there) will jump start the NA HC swing. He needs it.
Grass definitely isnt his strongest surface. His serve doesnt get him enough free pts, IMO. He's doesnt hit as hard as a Nishikori, or Dolgopolov, even tho they're about the same size.
BTW, Groth is in the semis with a straight set win over Mahut. Should Mahut have won at least a set as well??
Embarrassing result from DY against Dudi Sela as Dudi wins 6-3 6-0. Back to the drawing board again....
Israeli bagels are the real thing! Astounding he could out that flat in front of the home crowd.
Let's hope Ginepri represents the ATL a little better vs Staks.
Guessing only practicing with Juniors is not paying off for DY, very disappointing he is always 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.
What is with this? Is he afraid to challenge himself or something? Is he the kind of guy who practices with juniors so he always feels like he's the better player.
He pays his hitting partners in Happy Meals???
Young entered with a 2-1 career edge against Sela, including a 6-1, 2-6, 6-1, 6-0 win on clay at the French Open in the spring. Yet Young has lost in Atlanta's first round in 2011, '12 and '14, and did not survive qualifying in '13.
"It was pretty bad," he said. "I haven't had good results at all at home. Maybe there are too many people who I know around and things pulling me for tickets and a bunch of other stuff."
Yeah having an entourage hanging onto you constantly and being a diva does not help you make it on the tour, time for the DY to find some mental toughness before he falls flat again
