Hi You all I’m down here in Georgia. Yes, Georgia. It’s been on my mind. It’s home for me. So I’m really looking forward to the week.

If you’ve never been to Georgia you are missing a beautiful state of the 50. It’s really a great place. I’m ready for some good southern cooking. What’s that? Basically all FRIED! I’m looking for hush puppies and can’t wait for some great ” grits.”

Let’s look at the qualy draw. I’m getting hungry. So I need to focus on tennis.

One of our favorite players has one more round to win. That’s Kevin Kim. Really a super guy. Spent too much time in the lower level tour. Sorry. But it’s true. We see another favorite of 10sballs.com. That would be Mr. Nicholas Monroe. Holder of the winners dubs trophy at last years Pan-American games. Good luck road warriors! You too Blake Strode US open national play off winner.

In the main draw we see some more friends of the site.

The number one seed is a wildcard! That would be Dimitry Tursunov. A really super uber talented guy. first round he plays Canadian Peter Polansky.

We see America Delicious. No Amer Delic. He faces a qualifier. We sure wish he would blog for us. Funny smart guy!

Denis Kudla plays Tim Smyczek

Marinko Matsoevic who has a personality reminiscent of Illie Nastase. (not a good thing ) he is an Auzzie of sorts who also faces a qualifier.

Michael Russell plays a qualifier. Robert Kendrick is in the draw, Robbie Ginepri, ” Creepy O ” is in the draw. Everyone loves beating him. Why is he still on tour? What a cheat… Creepy. Creepy. Creepy.

Ryan Sweeting plays an old buddy from Moldavia? I think so. It’s Roman Boranov. Nice guy.

Brit Alex Bogdanovic faces a qualifier.

Big serving Michael Yani plays Bobby Reynolds.( Introduced by an Indian wells announcer as Bobby Brown.)

Auzzie Carsten Ball another big server and second seed plays another Canadian Vasek Pospisil.

We haven’t seen the doubles draw yet. We will keep you posted.
