Good week for American tennis


Despite being out of Davis Cup this week was a good one for the American men. That's because, let's face it, if you're an American tennis follower like myself all the action these days is happening on the challenger circuit. Big congrats to Steve Johnson (Le Gosier) and Rajeev Ram (Leon) who both won titles away from home this week. The week gives us seven players in the top 100 and raises Johnson up to a career high 69 in the world with little to defend the rest of the year. A top 50 year finish is absolutely possible for him. Le Gosier markes Johnson's fourth career challenger title.

John Isner is also up a spot to #9 this week, though he's defending title points in Houston. Here are the updated rankings:


9. John Isner (+1)
65. Bradley Klahn
69. Steve Johnson (+29)
82. Sam Querrey (-8)
91. Donald Young (-20)
94. Jack Sock (-2)
97. Michael Russell (+9)
103. Tim Smyczek (-1)
108. Denis Kudla (+4)
115. Ryan Harrison (-1)
121. Rajeev Ram (+10)
124. Alex Kuznetsov (-1)
144. Wayne Odesnik (-2)
153. Rhyne Williams (+2)

This week is another big week for the Americans as we'll find out who they will play in September in Davis Cup to remain in the world group. There's also a 250 ATP tournament in Houston in which most of them will be competing save Klahn and Smyczek who are out injured. In fact, Robby Ginepri (vs. Kokkinakis) and Ryan Harrison (vs. Bemelmans) are in the qualifying round today for a chance to enter the main draw.

Others competing are the top seeded Isner (bye), Williams (vs. Brown), Querrey (vs. Bogomolov), Russell (vs. Gimeno-Traver), Sock (vs. 8 Karlovic), Young (vs. qualifier), and Johnson vs. Kudla.

  1. After many years of pain and sorrow a man named DR WALE came to my rescue. I got married to the love of my life and we both have three children together. At first we were living peacefully as a family without any issue. But as time went on me and my man started having serious fights with each other. The fight between us got out of control and my husband was telling me let's part ways. He was telling me he wants us to divorce me. Right in front of my eyes my husband and our sales girl are having an affair. My husband started treating me and the children's bad. I told a friend about my behavior towards me and the kids, my friend then told me about DR WALE. Because I need to look for a solution before everything gets out of hand. When I contacted DR WALE about it, He did a quick check for me and found out it was my sales girl that was behind everything happening. I asked DR WALE what needed to be done. He told me that I will need to do some spiritual cleansing to open my husband's eyes and also cast spell. I made payment for everything and the rest was history. DR WALE did the best thing in my life. My husband's eyes were clear and he begged me and the kids for forgiveness. Today we're all now living as one big family again. DR WALE thanks for everything. IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES IN YOUR MARRIAGE, RELATIONSHIP OR LOTTERY GAME DR WALE IS THE BEST MAN TO CONTACT. Contact him Via WhatsApp OR Telegram: +2347054019402 OR Email: drwalespellhome@gmail.com
