2021 BNP Paribas Open...ATP 1000...Indian Wells, California

[stroke]

His opponent, Chris Eubanks, was the #1 player at Georgia Tech a few years ago when I was working there. I talked to him a couple of times. Chris has a big game and is a very good mover for 6'7", a nice young man.

Koslov is an interesting case. Had some success as a junior and turned pro at a young age and is currently ranked at 253. His highest ranking was 115 and 2017. He's had a tough go of it as a pro. Not sure how much firepower he has.

yes...a most interesting case indeed. Interesting opponent as well...never heard of him. I watched a few games but got distracted by some Ben Hogan video or something. The opponent had a nice service motion and at 6’ 7” tall he was making a big impact on the match with it. Koslov’s motion has improved and he has physically matured since I last saw him but is far from being an imposing physical specimen. He may be spinning his wheels and mired in the 200 plus area on the ATP food chain.

Interesting early rounder for me is Botic van de Zandschulp, who generated some buzz at the USO. A bit surprised he didn't get a main draw wild card, Won round 1, over the perpetual lucky-loser entrant Polansky.

Alycia Parks also interests simply because the 20yo hit the fastest WTA serve at the US Open, 129 mph (tieing Venus for fastest ever there) and I'd never heard of her before that. Searching -- from Georgia, 6 ft 1 in.

Pulling for Stefan Koslov to win his next qualifying round for him to make the main draw!

Tough luck there. Koslov out in 3 to Eubanks. Dr. Ivo also out in second round, won 2 tiebreaks in the prior round, lost one today. Live by the 'Breaker, die by the 'Breaker.
