Fritz, Tiafoe, and Paul were each less than a set away from earning the WC vs. an unseeded player, but none could close it out. It's seemingly some sort of karma for Rubin. He missed out on the US Open WC when he lost the final in Waco that he was in control of and a few points from winning. Now he's on the good side of a similar equation.

He obviously had a ton of success earlier in the fall, but the Australian Open WC challenge is based on these three tournaments.<br /><br />It's tough to be consistent in challengers because most of the players are close in level. There isn't a huge difference between a seed ranked 110 and a non-seed ranked 200. Rubin's two first round opponents were arguably tougher than the players he faced in the semis and finals of Charlottesville.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-23808934857957957752015-11-21T09:37:29.994-05:002015-11-21T09:37:29.994-05:00Giving the wild card to Rubin is laughable. Yes, ...Giving the wild card to Rubin is laughable. Yes, he had a good run at a very weak Challenger, but then proceeded to get bounced the first round at the next two events. At least Fritz shows consistency.Phrednoreply@blogger.com
