2 Comments · Posted by Scoop Malinowski in Bios
By Scoop Malinowski I first saw Cristian Rodriguez playing at Sarasota Open Challenger this year. He was giving Christian Harrison some trouble in the first round of qualies. They were playing on center court before a sparse crowd and in the second set tiebreaker Rodriguez battled to 7-7 before losing the final two points. The […] Continue to read full article...

Rios, Haas Thrilled By Sarasota Open
2 Comments · Posted by Scoop Malinowski in Articles, Bios, Scoop
By Scoop Malinowski One of the perplexing questions of pro tennis is why the Challenger tournaments for lower ranked, struggling players are under- promoted and thus under-supported unlike minor league baseball and hockey. But the talent exhibited at ATP Challenger tournaments is comparable to Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, if short on starpower, the actual tennis […] Continue to read full article...
Adrian Andreev scored the miracle win of the day vs 29 year old Alternate Moez Echergui of Tunisia 46 76 61. The Bulgarian 20 year old was a no. 1 junior a couple of years ago and then was sidelined for a year with a bad wrist. Today he snatched a win from the jaw […] Continue to read full article...

AMERICANS ADVANCE TO SINGLES FINAL AT THE ELIZABETH MOORE SARASOTA OPEN
By Scoop Malinowski
Tennys Sandgren won - or survived - his first round encounter with Ryan Shane 36 76 76 last night at the Sarasota Open but the most poignant moment of the evening happened not in the heat of competition.
Sandgren barely edged out the second set against the extremely powerful, hard hitting Virginia professional and then just before the start of the third set, as Sandgren walked out to the baseline to resume the duel, he noticed one of the red-hatted ballboys, about ten years old was leaving the match with his mom.

Spoke with Michael Redlicki yesterday, he like many other players are just not happy with these new rules of ATP and ITF Tours and the point system and how lower ranked players are being weeded out.

The qualifying tournament for this Sarasota Open had just two matches. The foundation of tennis - the young players - are being pushed out. It's too hard to make money in pro tennis and the sport will suffer. Continue to read full article...
