best 1st round NCAA singles

#1 Liam Draxl vs John McNally-think McNally has a decent chance of this one
Blumberg vs Kingsley, winner probably will play #3 Hady Habib in 2nd round tough early rounds
Gustaf Storm (AZ 1s freshman) vs #4 Vacherot
VA's freshman Von Schulenberg vs FL #5 Duarte Vale

I saw the brackets here but they should be on NCAA site.

Only two US players are seeded: Sam Riffice and Trent Bryde who has NC State's Galarneau (has won Challenger matches) in 1st rd
Does any American have a chance to win NCAAs and US Open WC? two of the highest UTR US players play each other 1st rd-Kingsley vs Blumberg. Kovacevic is another possible option.

In UTR order, the top US D1 collegians in the NCAAs are Kovacevic, Kingsley, Blumberg, Riffice, Nefve of Notre Dame, and McNally. Hady Habib who would fall in that group of UTR 13.5-14.0 may be considered American for WC purposes-born in Houston but played for Lebanon Davis Cup so I am not sure. If he counts too, he would be the 3rd seeded American collegian. However, with the current draw, only one of Blumberg, Kingley, and Habib will reach the 3rd round. Riffice could be tired from all the NCAA team matches.

Where is Axel Geller ? This is extreme injustice. will file a official complaint with NCAA. This is ridiculous. Does NCAA know Stanford won the PAc-12 title this year, can you say disrespect
 
They really both tried to **** Ohio State and equally ****ed the people they are playing against

Its not at all fair to make a #1 seed play McNally first round. He has been dogging the season but he is not worse than 10 in the country

Thats just disgraceful. I know how (Draxl) he feels.

And putting Kinglsey down there? He is a top 5 player at worst. Against a former number 1. First round.

**** you NCAA

Close match. Bummer McNally lost. He had a match point at 6-5 in 3rd and was up 4-2 in breaker. Hopefully other US players can go deep and have a chance at that Open WC...

McNally had an overrule go against him in the breaker that would have had him switching sides up 5-1; then he shanked two pretty routine balls and that's all it took. I was sitting on the far baseline so it's hard to say whether the overrule was the right call or not, but it was great tennis start to finish.

We are going to file an official complaint for keep out the best players in NCAA D1. Geller and Fery are top 5 players in NCAA and they kept them out of it. WOW. Such travesty and incompetence of NCAA selection committee has never been seen. For 2022, we need to dismiss 90 % of those guys and start a new more knowledgeble staff that actually knows tennis
