Dallas 2018 Challenger at TBarM is completely sold out (has been for the past 4 days) - Nishikori has been a huge draw here as well.

Great week for Jeevan/Rungkat at Dallas (the pair lost in the finals to Salisbury/D O’Hare last year).

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
Yes, first challenger title for the pair together after having lost 5 finals before this. So, they sort of broke the final jinx. Hope this pair gets stronger now.
Individually, this is 5th challenger doubles title for Jeevan apart from 1 ATP title which he has.( all with different partners).

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
Congrats to Jeevan and Rungkat. May they go from strength to strength.
And Leander isn't playing in the Quito ATP. Bizarre scheduling indeed!
Purav is top-seeded in Quito with Demoliner.

Is Leander playing the San Francisco challenger? The draw hasn’t been posted yet so was just wondering if he’s playing anywhere this week.

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
Strange scheduling indeed by Leander. He plays 2 weeks of challengers in US which does not help much in rankings and then misses a week where there are 3 ATP 250 tournaments around the world.

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
It is also about appearance money , these US challengers having been splashing big money to get big names like Nishikori and a Charismatic player like LP is a good draw for the crowds at these challengers which we saw during the matches which he played , there was always a healthy turnout.

Wasn't RamK playing San Francisco or did I get that totally wrong?

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
I feel, we r commenting on unknown ... May be he had some family/ other obligation this week, so he decided to skip this week and played last two weeks to grab as much points as possible.
