Weekend Tennis Roundup


While I was away, it was titles for Sonego, Noskova and Kessler. Full report -- plus all the ATP beef that's fit to post BELOW




Lorenzo Sonego captured his first title in almost two years Saturday after dominating American teen Alex Michelsen from start to finish to claim a resounding 6-0, 6-3 win in a 64-minute Winston-Salem Open final. Michelsen fired a ball into the stands HITTING a spectator but was not defaulted, leading to complaints from many who have watched people get ejected for far less infractions, some of which were completely unintentional.


McCartney Kessler upset Beatriz Haddad Maia of Brazil -- who never seems to lose -- 1-6, 6-1, 7-5 to become not only the first wild card, but also the first American to win the Tennis in the Land event in Cleveland. (We've lost an entire generation to people with these idiotic names, wait till we have our second president named Mykynnleigh.


Rising 19-year-old Czech Linda Noskova won the Monterrey Open on Saturday night for her first WTA Tour title, beating Lulu Sun 7-6 (6) 6-4 at Sonoma Club.


Nathaniel Lammons and Jackson Withrow won their second consecutive Winston-Salem Open title with a 6-4, 6-3 victory Saturday over Julian Cash and Robert Galloway.




 This was the third title for the World No. 9 ranked Americans, following their victories at the Atlanta Open and the Mubadala Citi DC Open.

Need to plan a trip to the US Open next year so this Tommy can meet the other Tommy in person.
