Nice to see up and coming #154 Yoshihito Nishioka of Japan making the main draw of the Delray Beach Open! He's a bit small (173cm), but he could soon be Japan's No. 2.

Do you see better potential in him than in Ito or Soeda?

Good question. I like what I see, but I'm concerned about his size. He could be in the Top 100 for a while but Top 50? He'll need some Hewitt in him to do that I think.

Kudla, Karlo, The Dog won

 

[Kirijax]

Nishioka beats #133 Sijsling 5 and 1. Good job Nishioka! As a reward, you will probably get Isner in the 2nd round!

On a side note. I can never look at Sijsling's name without remembering that Bette Midler song. :dodgy:

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good to see my fav young Aussie Kokkinakis who played qualies to make the main draw,defeat Flip Krajinovic 62 63.

 

[Kirijax]

Isner coming up to bat. He needs a good tournament soon.

 

[Kirijax]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand Isner promptly goes out 4 and 4 in the first round. Matosevic gets the win and faces Japan's young Nishioka in the second round.

What's wrong with Isner?

 

[shawnbm]

Anybody here going to this event in the next week to ten days?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Also, Querry got injured and retired. With Isner also losing, the Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal of
America are now gone in the first round itself.

James Black, who's now working for the USTA, says he's really really excited about the up and comers.
