Eight top 60 players are in the Newport draw this year including 15 Olympians, though the Bryan Brothers have pulled out of the doubles to rest for Olympic Games. Nevertheless, this year’s Newport event promises to be one of the best ever.
Isner could meet Mahut in the second round, as can Raonic and David Goffin. If Hewitt beats Pospisil he can meet Querrey in the second round. Kudla, Christian Harrison and Steve Johnson were defeated in qualies. And, unfortunately for Dan, his favorite ATP player, the Jamaican German Dustin Brown, is not in the singles or doubles draws.
