Benny (Atlanta, 2002-; 2022, $7,364,929 on 2025.7.03) is my favorite player: flashy, athletic, fun, … he also has a pair of likeable parents.
- the first Friday, 7.04
From the start, Ben reminds me of cartoon character in the tv show Rugrat (never watched it). He’s really fun to watch, a rascal.
He’s playing his second round match at Wimbledon 2025 today, against the Aussie player Rinky Hijikata (Sydney, 2001-; 2021, $2,861,238). Not sure why didn’t he close out the match at 4-5, 0-40 in the third. It’s suspended, till tomorrow.
American players have lost today to non American:
- Tommy Paul lost to Ofner
- Giron lost to J. Mensik
- Sophia Kenin lost to J. Bouzas
- Caty McNally lost to Iga
- Caroline Dolehide lost Barbora Krejčíková
- Katie Volynets lost to E. Cocciartetto
Happy to see
- Emma Navarro def Veronika Kudermetova (1997-)
- Danielle Collins def Veronika Erjavec
- Hailey Baptiste def Victoria Mboko
- … Will Ben make the 4th?
Two Americans played, Brandon Nakashima (2001-) def Reilly Opelka (1997-).
Ben also reminded me of Donald Young (Chicago, 1989-; 2004, $4,694,661) whose career didn’t really pan out. Somehow, Taylor Townsend (Chicago, 1996-; 2012, $6,171,091) did.
