CH Champaign13: Tennys otwiera rachunek!

Sandgren Wins Champaign Challenger.

Spoiler:

Tennys Sandgren reached his first Challenger final in Champaign, Illinois yesterday, and he didn't stop there. The 22-year-old former Tennessee Volunteer, completing his second full year on the professional circuit, defeated No. 7 seed Sam Groth of Australia 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(4) in this afternoon's singles final to pick up his first Challenger title at the $50,000 tournament.

The 2007 Kalamazoo 16s champion reached the semifinals of the Knoxville Challenger last week, losing to champion Tim Smyczek and although he wasn't seeded in Champaign, he was certainly one of the most in-form players coming into the tournament, taking advantage of all the early round upsets. With his win, Sandgren is projected to reach a career-high ATP ranking inside the Top 200, and is likely to among those selected to compete in the USTA's Australian Open wild card tournament next month in Atlanta. According to Mike Cation, who did a stellar job on the USTA live stream commentary, Sandgren has been working with Billy Heiser, the former Illinois player who was a junior development coach for a short time, but is now a pro tour coach. Heiser has been traveling with Tim Smyczek and also is working with Dennis Nevolo, who reached the semifinals of the Champaign Challenger.

2010 NCAA champion Bradley Klahn made the semifinals of the Yokohama, Japan Challenger tournament this week, and after winning a Challenger in Korea and reaching the final of one in Australia before that, he is projected to move into the ATP Top 100 and will be straight into the Australian Open.

Make sure you go to the Challenger Tennis blog on Monday for a full list of all those who have reached their career-high in the ATP rankings (between 60 and 300, that is).

2012 Orange Bowl 16s champion Andrey Rublev of Russia defeated Noah Rubin 6-3, 6-3 in the semifinals of the $10,000 Bradenton Futures, and will make his second attempt at a Futures title Sunday against 19-year-old Martins Podzus of Latvia. Podzus advanced to his first Futures final when Greg Ouellette (Florida) retired trailing 6-3, 5-3.

In the $10,000 Futures in Mexico, 17-year-old Ernesto Escobedo reached his second Futures final today, defeating qualifier Kyle McMorrow(Washington) 6-4, 7-6(4). The unseeded Californian has not lost a set in his four wins, and will take on No. 2 seed Nick Meister(UCLA), who defeated Mexico's Mauricio Astorga 6-2, 4-6, 6-1 in the semifinals. Meister defeated Escobedo in three sets the only time they've met, in the first round of the Costa Mesa Futures back in March.

In Colombia, Ted Angelinos(Virginia) won his third Futures title of the year(he's reached eight finals), taking the championship as the No. 1 seed by defeating No. 2 seed Luis David Martinez of Venezuela 7-6(5), 7-6(4).

In notable junior results in Challengers this week, Wimbledon boys champion Gianluigi Quinzi of Italy reached the semifinals of the $50,000 Ecuador Challenger, losing in three sets to the top seeds, while US Open boys champion Borna Coric of Croatia and French Open boys champion Christian Garin of Chile reached the quarterfinals in Japan and Peru.

Australian and US Open girls champion Ana Konjuh reached the semifinals of the $75,000 Challenger in Dubai.

I ran across this article in the South China Morning Post earlier this week, and thought those of you with an interest in player development might find it worthwhile. Sergei Bruguera, Sr. is scouting in Hong Kong for a possible academy site, and he had some thought-provoking comments about the importance of local tournaments and the clay surface in developing talent. One thing he said that I find odd is in this section:

He was in China nine years ago at the invitation of the Chinese Tennis Federation and at the time saw “five or six” youngsters who had the potential to go all the way. “What happened? I don’t know. It is amazing that today these players are nowhere.
I was in Guangdong nine years ago for two weeks and was impressed with what I saw. But there have been no results. I hope I can help in this process to uncover a star from China, or even Hong Kong,” said the Spaniard. Bruguera is a firm advocate of the Spanish system where mind matters more than a power game. Having all the shots in the book is of no use, he says, if one cannot think how to win a point and have a feel for the game.
Every tournament I attend I see youngsters with the potential to "go all the way" (whatever that means). But to expect them to all succeed is delusional. Unfortunately, I guess, tennis is a zero sum game. If you consider going all the way as Top 100, which I think is fair, there are only 100 places in it. That pie doesn't get bigger as the talent pool grows. China will certainly get its Top 100 man some day, but to expect five or six by now? That seems optimistic in the extreme given the global nature of the game today.

Sandgren Prevails In Tempe

Tempe Challenger (Tempe, Arizona): American Tennys Sandgren picked up his first ATP Challenger Tour title in more than three years by defeating Serbian Nikola Milojevic 4-6, 6-0, 6-3. A rain-filled weekend pushed the semi-finals to Sunday and the final to Monday. Sandgren’s last Challenger win came in November 2013 in Champaign, Illinois.

Milojevic still seeks his first Challenger title, dropping to 0-2 in Challenger finals after finishing runner-up last month in Noumea (l. Mannarino).

Challenger Surge Secures Sandgren Roland Garros Spot

Spoiler:

The 25 year old won the Savannah Challenger on Sunday

Tennys Sandgren is “super pumped” that he will feature in the main draw of Grand Slam for the first time after the American commanded the USTA French Open Wild Card challenge. The American who earns the most Emirates ATP Rankings points over a four-week clay-court stretch is awarded a wild card into the main draw of Roland Garros. A runner-up finish at the ATP Challenger Tour event in Sarasota and title on Sunday in Savannah saw Sandgren emerge atop the standings.

“It’s really exciting, my first main draw of a Grand Slam,” stated Sandgren. “I’m super excited for the opportunity. Roland Garros is one of my favourite tournaments. I’ve only been once to play qualies, so to be in the main draw is fantastic.”

The 25 year old has attempted to qualify in a Grand Slam tournament 12 times, which has produced a 3-12 match record. “It’s been a lot of attempts, a lot of matches, a lot of Future events and ATP Challenger Tour matches to gain some confidence, to get my ranking up,” added the World No. 114. “To have a really good four weeks, to get this wild card means a lot."

The American will be a keen spectator of the Roland Garros draw later this month, but hopes a nine-time champion doesn’t fall next to his name. “It might be fun to play somebody big named. I’d love to avoid Rafa (Rafael Nadal), I don’t think I can win that match, as do a lot of tennis players,” quipped Sandgren. “It would be nice to have a ‘winnable’ match, somebody I can compete with and I feel like that is a lot of the guys. I’m going to compete as hard as I can on the court.”

Sandgren has been absorbed by watching past greats on TV at Roland Garros. “Rafa wins a lot! Some of the Guga (Gustavo Kuerten) matches were pretty special,” reflected Sandgren, referring to the Brazilian’s trio of titles in Paris. “He was one of my idols growing up and obviously he loved the dirt.

“The Gaudio-Coria 2004 final was a good one (Gaudio prevailed from two sets down). There were two when Rafa won the title without dropping a set, when he steam-rolled Federer in the final (2008) and then 2010, that’s just insane.”

Sandgren started his wild card journey to Paris by qualifying for his maiden ATP World Tour main draw in Houston (l. Escobedo in 1R) at the Fayez Sarofim & Co. US Men’s Clay Court Championship, followed by a run to the final (l. Tiafoe) at the $100,000 Challenger event in Sarasota.

“Playing Houston was awesome, it helped build up my confidence,” explained Sandgren. “It was good to start the clay court season with a couple of wins to get comfortable. I feel like I’ve improved a lot on the clay, it’s never been my favourite surface, but I feel like my fitness level is pretty high. I can stay out there for a while and grind out results.”

Sandgren’s progression was halted in early 2014 when a persistent left hip problem prompted surgery, before a five-month absence from competitive action. “It was sad, I was playing well,” said Sandgren, who had fallen to No. 714 in the Emirates ATP Rankings by February 2015. “It was a case of going back to the drawing board. I lost the first 15 matches I played after coming back from hip surgery, I lost 13 of them in three sets, so I just couldn’t catch a break.

“I kept at it, kept grinding. I finally got back into the Top 200 at the end of last year and I have learnt a few lessons about looking after my body better and not training quite as hard. My main focus has been to protect my body, to make sure that I’m healthy when I’m on court."

The three-time Challenger champion is ambitious for the remainder of 2017. “Tentatively I’m shooting for the Top 100, but I don’t really like performance-based goals,” said the American. It’s more important for me how I’m competing, trying to stay calm, to then get the best out of myself and my game.

“I’ll keep working every day, looking at little things to improve in my game to help me get better. I think the ranking will come, whatever that will be, I’ll get the most out of my tennis.”
