Hey Tennis Friends!
It’s time for the Farmers Classic, presented by Mercedes-Benz!
I’ll be reporting daily from the LA Tennis Center, on the campus of UCLA.
Come on down and join in the fun!
The final scores for the matches I mentioned are:
Steve Johnson d. Chris Guccione 6-3, 6-3
Steve is a Southern California resident who, because he is still in college and, therefore, an amateur, cannot play for money at this event. He’s playing for the thrill of playing against ATP players!
Ernests Gulbis d. Lukas Lacko 7-5, 7-5
Ernests is coming back from a hamstring injury that has kept him out of competition since Roland Garros in May. He admitted that, “In the second set I was getting a bit tired because of lack of match experience. The only thing that I did well, was serving.”
Arnaud Clement / Jonathan Erlich d. Travis Parrott / Dusan Vemic 7-6(8), 6-2

Be sure to share GroundsPass.net with your other Tennis Friends, and I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!
