Tiafoe przebił się do MD Sarasoty. Wszystko na trzysetówkach, ale awans jest. Williams, amerykański Kuznetsov, Collarini - całkiem niezłe nazwiska na rozkładzie.

[Rroggerr]

Tiafoe tak 80% zwycięstw odnosi w trzech setach, tak ułożony ma tenis.

Zagra z Mmohem w nagrodę. W ogóle - dużo młodzieży.

American Teens On The Rise In Sarasota


Frances Tiafoe qualified for his first ATP Challenger Tour main draw on Monday.

Spoiler:

Take notice ATP World Tour: there is a rising crop of teenagers poised to make a splash in the not-so-distant future.

Teens accounted for 22 ATP World Tour match wins through the first three months of the year, compared to just two through March in 2014. Of the nine currently residing in the Top 200 of the Emirates ATP Rankings, four are competing this week at the Sarasota Open and are creating a buzz at the prestigious $100,000 ATP Challenger Tour event. Hyeon Chung (18) and Yoshihito Nishioka (19) lead the Asian contingent, while Alexander Zverev (17) and home hope Jared Donaldson (18) also look to continue their strong starts to the season.

In addition, a trio of highly-touted 17-year-old American young guns are hoping to build a strong foundation on the Challenger circuit. Stefan Kozlov became the third-youngest player from the United States to reach a Challenger final last October in Sacramento, while Michael Mmoh and Frances Tiafoe are hoping their debuts are just as successful this week in Sarasota. Mmoh was awarded a wild card and, as fate has it, will face Tiafoe in the first round after the Maryland native won his second straight 2.5 hour battle to emerge from qualifying.

"We played three times," said Mmoh about facing Tiafoe. "He's up 2-1. Every match we've played has been a grind. He's been playing well and I'm expecting a good match."

"They're best friends," added Mmoh's coach Glenn Weiner. "I think Frances got him the last time. I much prefer them playing in a Challenger than in a junior tournament so they're in a pro environment. Frances has been doing well as of late, playing three long battles here (in qualifying). He's playing well which makes it good to see where Michael's at."

Weiner, who coached World No. 4 Kei Nishikori for three years in the late 2000s, believes that, along with Donaldson, the crop of American rising stars are pushing each other to be the best as their games continue to mature. As Mmoh prepares to eventually make the jump to the professional ranks, Weiner also stressed the importance of gaining exposure to the work ethic and daily routines of the experienced professionals on the ATP Challenger Tour.

"Obviously right now we're going to be playing a lot more Futures than Challengers and ATP level, but it's good to see where your game is at and where the big boys are at and what you need to do to improve.

"I prefer him to be in this environment to see how they prepare, how they act and how hard they hit it. We were in Memphis (during the Memphis Open), had a late hit one day and went to the trainer around 8:30 at night. There were like six pros there getting treatment. This was before qualifying on a Thursday or Friday. These are main draw players getting the work done and I like for him to be in that environment and see how it is."
Mmoh and Tiafoe are slated to meet second on the centre court Tuesday, with the winner potentially facing third seed Paolo Lorenzi in the second

Life On The ATP Challenger Tour: The Anatomy Of A Season

Spoiler:

The life spent between the ATP World Tour and the ATP Challenger Tour can often be fraught with uncertainty and emotional anguish, as players are given the burden of making critical decisions off the court that can determine the fate of their careers.

Deciding which tournament to play in a given week is far from simple and can often be a stressful process, with dizzying results. To play on the Challenger circuit or spin the roulette wheel at the tour level. That is the question. A wrong answer can cost a player crucial prize money and Emirates ATP Rankings points, which are critical for survival in professional tennis.

There are many factors that weigh on a player’s decision-making process as they attempt to map out the course of their season. From the geography of a swing of tournaments to the comfort level and past success at an event, to court surface implications where they are better positioned to claim Emirates ATP Rankings points and prize money, players spend a significant amount of time on scheduling, especially in the lower tiers of the sport. And then there are the most important factors of all: the constraints of a player’s financial budget and the physical and mental toll of being in a state of perpetual travel.

A Case Study: Monte-Carlo vs. Sarasota
“It depends on what I need at that moment – whether I need match play or (Emirates ATP Rankings) points,” said World No. 69 Tim Smyczek in Sarasota. “If it was a point in the year where I hadn’t had a lot of wins I’d rather play a Challenger than an (ATP World Tour) qualifying, but there’s a few different factors.

“If you’re struggling for matches, you’re going to go where you think you’ll get the most matches. That actually could work the opposite way where there might be a smaller tour event and you can play qualies and feel like you’ll have a fairly decent chance of getting in by winning three qualifying matches. And say that same week is a $100,000 Challenger and you might play somebody very good in the first round. It works both ways and it just depends on what you need that week.”

This week, players faced a similar dilemma to what Smyczek outlines. The clay-court season kicked into high gear with the prestigious ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament in Monte-Carlo, while the Sarasota Open hosts a high-quality $100,000 ATP Challenger Tour event. Monte-Carlo is on red clay, while Sarasota is held on the faster green Har-Tru clay. For many players, heading to the Principality to compete in qualifying as opposed to being assured of a main draw spot in Sarasota was a heavy decision.

For the Sarasota top seed, it came down to analysing the calendar and deciding which weeks to rest and which tournaments yield the best opportunity to collect Emirates ATP Rankings points. The 27-year-old American said the court surface made the decision easier.

“That was one of the options,” he added, referring to traveling to Monte-Carlo. “We thought about that. Given my ranking right now, I have a gap between now and pretty much Atlanta where I virtually have no points to defend. Let’s face it, clay is not my best surface. So I thought to maybe stick around here and play matches against guys who I feel I can beat on clay versus going to the tour level and competing in events where I wouldn’t feel as confident going on court. It may have backfired a little bit this week, but it’s a decision we made.

“I’m trying to improve on clay and I’m taking every tournament very seriously but at the same time I have the best chance to play my best tennis in the summer hard court season. The top guys have the luxury of scheduling a couple weeks here and there, but I have to play the tournaments I get into.”

“I’m not a clay-court player,” Sarasota fifth seed Ruben Bemelmans admitted. “Green clay is obviously faster than the red clay. Here you don’t really have the clay-court specialists. In Monte-Carlo you do. The decision was based on that. I’m a hard-court player, so I’m doing the trip in the States. I’m not going to meet any clay-court specialists who are going to grind five metres behind the line and you have five-hour matches. Plus here if you serve big it’s still a huge advantage, because it goes fast and it’s hard to control.”

Meanwhile, Smyczek's compatriot Denis Kudla took a different approach. Both Smyczek and Kudla competed in Houston last week, but the 22-year-old Kudla decided to trek abroad and would become the first player from the United States to qualify in Monte-Carlo since Jeff Tarango in 1998. Kudla’s strategy paid off, but was laden with significant risk, considering it is the lone tournament on his European clay-court schedule. Kudla will travel back to North America to contest the ATP Challenger Tour hard-court event in Guadalajara, Mexico before heading to Asia to hit the pavement of Taipei and Busan.
Opportunity Cost
Bemelmans is playing the best tennis of his career. The World No. 99 cracked the Top 100 of the Emirates SarasotaATP Rankings for the first time after claiming his fourth title on the ATP Challenger Tour a few weeks ago.

His triumph in Le Gosier, Guadeloupe, put him at 15-4 on the circuit this year, owning the second-most match wins behind only Benoit Paire. The Belgian also qualified for his second ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event in Miami last month. He was quick to point out that the most important element to performing at your best on the court is maintaining a state of normalcy and tranquility away from the game. The constraints of a player’s financial budget on the ATP Challenger Tour and the physical and mental toll of traveling each week to make ends meet can crush even the most emotionally stable players.

“It’s a tough choice,” said Bemelmans. “When you qualify (for an ATP World Tour 250 event) it’s only 12 points and you could play against a seeded player who is in the Top 50. Whereas if you play a Challenger, the highest-ranked player is maybe 70 or 80, so it’s the choice you have to make. It’s not easy because you could have a good draw and make the second round at the ATP World Tour tournament which is 30-something points. If you make the semi-finals of a Challenger it’s similar. I prefer not to be seeded. It takes the pressure off. I was unseeded in Guadeloupe.

“It’s rough financially and also physically with tournaments so spread out. The Hospitality (provided at certain Challenger tournaments with a +H designation) is also very important. At many tournaments in Europe food is also included. Lunch and dinner, everything is provided and the hotel too.”

Second-seed Federico Delbonis and doubles top seed Treat Huey also point to the physical and emotional toll of traveling overseas as the reasoning behind making the short trip from the ATP World Tour event in Houston to the Sarasota Open.

“Simply because I was already in the United States and it was easier,” said Delbonis. “It’s a great tournament with many (Emirates ATP Rankings) points to win.”

“Last week and this week it’s all about playing as many matches on clay as we can and get used to it obviously,” Huey said. “We flew only an hour and 45 minutes from Houston to Tampa and then drove 45 minutes here. It’s a good tournament . I’ve played it before. It always depends on geography in terms of playing a tournament. Sarasota is a great place, my parents only live an hour and a half away so they came too.”

With multiple ATP Challenger Tour events held in venues around the world each week, three-time ATP World Tour doubles champion James Cerretani agrees that planning localised swings in certain regions is critical to survival. “Basically maximizing your game based on the conditions of the event is the most important thing. For example, this week I played here (in Sarasota). It’s a little bigger tournament but I didn’t want to go all the way to Mersin, Turkey. I was originally going to go there. Also, I’m in the same geographical proximity the past few weeks having played in Mexico and Guadeloupe, so it makes things easy for me travel-wise.

“That’s an important aspect of the Challenger Tour. Streamlining as many events together is important from a financial standpoint for the players and from an administrative standpoint for the tournaments as well. The French have traveling staffers and that’s why they have such great tournaments that are so well-organised. It gives you that familiar feeling when you come to tournaments. You see the same people all the time and they recognise each other. You know them by face, by name even. Here in the States you have swings (with SmSarasota, Savannah and Tallahassee) and then later in the year on the west coast with events like Aptos, Vancouver, Tiburon and Sacramento.”

Building Confidence
Last year, Bemelmans’ countryman David Goffin took off like a house on fire in winning three straight Challenger events in Scheveningen, Poznan and Tampere before capturing his maiden ATP World Tour crown in Kitzbuhel and steamrolling to Comeback Player of the Year honours. Ranked outside the Top 100 when he first stepped on court in Scheveningen, the Belgian directly pointed to scheduling the Challenger swing as a confidence builder, serving as a catalyst: "I was looking for some confidence, that’s why I went to the Challengers."

“I would argue that confidence factor is one of the biggest issues as well,” Cerretani added. “Maybe you’re adjusting to the new conditions and want to get many matches in a Challenger, then play some 250s to lead up to bigger events so you feel super confident there. It's significant.”

Former doubles World No. 20 Huey, a 12-time ATP World Tour finalist, pointed to the familiarity of a venue and past success at a particular tournament as important in fostering confidence, and one that makes scheduling easier - even at the tour level. Huey is currently teaming with American Scott Lipsky.

“For example, in two weeks, with Estoril, Munich and Istanbul, Scott won Estoril the past two years (w/Santiago Gonzalez) so it’s a no-brainer. If I’m playing with a singles guy, it’s obviously wherever he’s playing. But I’m pretty much playing with doubles guys so it’s not really randomly deciding, but saying ‘this is a good tournament to build confidence, so let’s play there’."

There is no way around it. Scheduling decisions are a critical aspect to life on tour that can make or break a player's season. It's something that weighs on every player competing on the ATP Challenger Tour, providing an additional dimension to maintaining a career as a professional tennis player.
