MIAMI OPEN TENNIS NEWS - EXAMINING NOAH RUBIN AND TATSUMA ITO'S MATCH  |

I watched Noah Rubin’s match against the Japanese player Ito in the Miami Open qualies yesterday. Noah lost 4,4. I feel the outcome was decided in the circumstances of preparation as Melanie Siegel Rubin has alluded to. That being said it was a very close and interesting match. Noah was a victim of some less than professional level eyesight on 5 critical momentum changing points that made a big difference.

 

The youthful students around me are the ones I am differing to here about these erroneous calls. Noah has great talent, hands, speed, competitive energy and spatial awareness of where to hit his shots. He is far from reaching his potential and has many areas of his game that he can improve.

 

I see Noah as a top 50 player if he can do the following: serve consistently bigger, improve his feel on his backhand, dictate more with his forehand and play closer and inside the baseline more often. It seems as though Noah has the talent, ability and desire to improve his game to this top 50 level…

 

His best shots in this match, if he were to consistently execute at this level, are world class and formidable. Noah is part of a young American group that will be in the top 100 ATP for a long time.

 

Noah’s best asset is his heart and desire and this will lead him to achieve his goals.
