:wacko:

:lol:

He's ranked 75th....shows how good the field in Houston is....

glad it's not just me MJT :P

Yeah but it's not as if you guys have never heard of him before, is it? :unsure:

I've certainly never heard of him before.

me neither :blush:

I only heard of him this year when he reached the quarters of Acapulco and then lost in the final of a French Challenger so you guys aren't exactly missing out on much :lol:

I'm quite surprised he is above Hernandez in the rankings though :shrug:

Granollers-Pujol is GOAT.

Blake vs Nishikori could make for an intriguing opening round match given what happened in Delray Beach :ok:

Order of Play Thursday

The 15 year old Ryan Harrison is playing James Blake today :huh:

Apparently he's the third-youngest guy to win a match in a main ATP event, after Gasquet (Monte Carlo 2002) and Nadal (Barcelona 2002).

And, in contrast to Donald Young, who was given wildcard after wildcard until he started winning some matches, Harrison made his way through qualifying. Pretty impressive stuff at that age.

yep, good work from Harrison. It would seem to be the best way to do it, and actually both Blake and Roddick recommended to Donald Young a few years back that he stop accepting WCs and work his way through the futures and challengers and qualifying. :shrug:
