Let’s start with one of 10sballs.com favorites. Donald Young Jr. He won his first round of qualies in straight sets. Well-done and good luck tomorrow.

As the staff of 10sballs.com was winding down the 12th hour on the site we saw our favorite Belgian tennis player. Xavier Malisse. Watched some of his practice. He was sure hitting the forehand like a rocket and the backhand is truly a beautiful stroke. …
