How do you think the Wake Forest players of this year compare to past UVA players? In two weeks, we may know the answer-past UVA players may play Wake players in the WS Future. Assuming Petros gets DA into MD and Wake gives 4 WCs to other players, here are some of the recent college players who will probably be in main draw: from VA: Altamarino, Aragone, Thai, Ritschard from Wake: Petros, WCs for 4 of these 5 Skander Cungu, Botzer, Seraphim, Zloblinsky (Gojo did not sign up), UNC-Schneider plus Kypson, Hiltzik former Illini, Kircheimer from Northwestern. In the Quali, there probably will be Crawford and Kessler of Florica plus top FL recruits Sam Riffice and lukas Greif, Reinberg from GA plus top GA recruit Trent Bryde and 5 star Britton Johnston, Corwin and Spec from Minn, Zeke and Kovacevic from Illinois, Lebedev from Notre Dame, Trevor Johnson from TCU, Mac Kiger and possibly R Kelly from UNC (way down alternate list-last year some UNC players got Quali WCs so hopefully he will get in), remaining Wake players-Solomon, Dempster and Roy smith of Baylor. The older Redlicki (Duke/Ark)brother is in the Quali. There are other college players further down on alternate list that I am not listing as they may not get in-close to 200 players on alternate list and that is after 50 players withdrew since Thursday.
If you are curious to see if the results are different when ads are played and have some time, return to Wake to watch more good tennis. Quali is June 9-11 and MD is June 12-17. Unfortunately Futures are not livestreamed-only Challengers. Players currently on list could withdraw before then, and the list above assumes some on the alternate list will make it into Qualis, and some currently high on Quali list will be in MD. Will be interesting to see how USTA PD rising freshmen Riffice, Greif, and Bryde do if they play current college players.

Last year Eubanks won this Future in an all GT final (vs Kevin King). Interesting note: Gojo played it last year and lost to Brandon Holt. Only Gojo, Solomon, and Morgan Dill from Wake played it last year, but it looks like most of the Wake guys this year are staying around for it.
