No way on earth he was #25 in the world 12 months ago! His highest ATP ranking up til this point has been #53 (August of last year).

Why don't you do ...@another kind of fake news,<br /><br />Why don't you do just a little bit of cursory research before you trash a very promising American college player's accomplishments (Eubanks) who is doing this well despite attending college. To denigrate his win in a tour level main draw over Taylor Fritz as merely a win over a Wild Card player is absurd. Fritz is currently ranked 125 in the world and was ranked #25 in the world less than 12 months ago. The only reason his ranking dropped was because he was had to stop playing tournaments when recovering from an injury.<br /><br />These are facts, not fake news, something that you and your incompetent lying "hero" who Russia put in the White House is similarly unfamiliar with.5.0 Playernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-46746480390556368452017-07-27T12:19:59.212-04:002017-07-27T12:19:59.212-04:00Eubanks got to the final of one futures event this...Eubanks got to the final of one futures event this summer, and won another, he got to the semi finals of a challenger in November (beating Rubin, Mmonh, and Bangoura. He is ranked 491, but without playing as many tournaments during school year as most players. It is not unusual for a local player to get a wild card into ATP/WTA tour event, it is also a random event how the draw gets set up, that is why its called a "draw". Players get good and bad draws (like he lost in the first round of qualifying at Newport to the #1 seed in 3 sets).<br /><br />No idea why Kimoko Date is still out there playing, she is playing on a "special ranking", and has mentioned that she is playing with injuries. She says she enjoys being out there, but she is definitely taking the spot of a more deserving player. She is still a good player, she was up on Anaconda, but got tired and lost in 3Alex Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18089638307058066014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-45046566378171492202017-07-27T08:53:44.036-04:002017-07-27T08:53:44.036-04:00Well, actually, Fritz isn't "just another...Well, actually, Fritz isn't "just another wildcard." If you have been following him for the last couple of years, he is/was a very good player who has played several times in the main draw of top events. Beating him was a good win for Eubanks. In my opinion, that is.Essiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178850650553548308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-83245863977669839682017-07-26T17:28:38.600-04:002017-07-26T17:28:38.600-04:00So they play a WC (Fritz) versus a WC (Eubanks) an...So they play a WC (Fritz) versus a WC (Eubanks) and a WC wins. Wow, do people really think it is random when this happens over and over again? Let's see Eubanks earn his way through the futures circuit, through Challenger then into an ATP event, then I would be impressed. Getting a win over another WC in a tournament you didn't earn your way in, not so much. It's just another one hit wonder produced by fabricated draws that happens all the time in an effort to manufacture American tennis.Another kind of fake newsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-89288948606418760282017-07-26T11:57:15.133-04:002017-07-26T11:57:15.133-04:00Kimiko Date???

If it's just for fun then she needs to give it up and leave that space for a young player who needs it. If she's trying for a ranking to play in tournaments, well, good luck.Essiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178850650553548308noreply@blogger.com
