[Fedace]

US open Men's qualifying draw is out and play starts tomorrow. Among the notable are X-man, Ben Becker, Nicolas Massu, Kei Nishikori, and the rising star Alex Clayton. My picks are Kei Nishikori, X-man and Alex Clayton to come thru to the main draw.

I'm surprised Amanda McDowell didnt get a MD WC for winning the NCAAs.

Maybe she got it and she turned it down ??

Turned down a MD WC for a WC into Qualies????? Doubt it.

My pick... Karatantcheva qualifies!

 

[vbranis]

Benny Becker's already out to Gianluca Naso!:shock:

I'm predicting Andreas Beck to make the main draw (very talented youngster) along with Robert Kendrick, Jan Hernych, Sergiy Stakhovsky, Xavier Malisse, Lukas Lacko, Rik De Voest, Paul Capdeville, Robert Smeets, Tomas Zib, Philipp Petzschner, Joshua Goodall, Kevin Kim, Alex Kuznetsov, Adrian Mannarino, and Stephane Bohli.

Let's see how many of these 16 will make it!

I didn't see Somdev in the Q. Is he getting a WC in the main draw or something?

Yeah, I'm surprised at that. USOpen qualies is a good place for him to be right now. But maybe he wasn't ranked high enough to get in directly (probably still isn't, he's 239 right now. What's the cutoff for US Open qualies?) and didn't get a wildcard to either qualies or main draw. That would be sad, hopefully we'll see him in the main draw.

How come I don't see Ryan Thacher in there?

I *think* only the men do that.

[Fedace]

^^No live feeds available. But there is Tennis broadcast in Tennisradio.com. Audio only, if you are into that.
GO ALEX CLAYTON today in the 1st round of qualies.

your crush was bounced out by Karol Beck 6-4 6-2

Malisse is out in first round of Q. Who would've thought that five years ago.

Giovanni Lapentti is trying to join his brother in the main draw!

Michael Quintero got destroyed again on hard courts... at least with a better-looking score than last year's 1st round Q. Why does he even bother playing hard courts?

Was he the guy suspended for two years? He was #36 in 2005... with over million in career prize money!

I think I read somewhere he got hurt at Kalamazoo.

According to Zoo tennis, he turned down the wildcard to Qualies of US open. it did not specify the reason.

This is the injury I read about. Maybe it flared up again.

And, it wasnt at Kalamazoo.
