I'm off to Cincinnati to watch the Cincy Open. Hope to see Bops and Sania tomorrow and cheer them on!

Bopanna is in Australia starting his 2022 season in Adelaide with the ATP 250 event, partnering Ramkumar (who is now only 2 spots out of making the QD). Bops was initially slated to play with Eduoard Roger-Vasselin, who seems to have withdrawn from the event. I think this would be a stellar pair. Let’s go!

If these guys do well here then maybe they can regroup for the Dallas Open (ATP 250) after the Aussie Open. The qualies start on February 6 and I’ll be there the whole week. Hopefully RamK makes the cutoff! The Dallas Open was formerly the New York Open and they moved it to Isners home town starting this year.

The Pune Open is taking place the week of Jan. 31st and then there are a couple of challengers taking place right after that so RamK will not be coming to Dallas. Sorry to disappoint Prof.
