Meanwhile, flying under the radar,  Hugo Dellien keeps his great form and is in another challenger semifinal! He won Sarasota and Savannah with Tallahassee semis in-between, lost to Pavlasek at Roland Garros qualifying round 1 (who eventually made to second round!), won Vicenza last week and is in SF of Shymkent! he is getting closer to Top 100, he's #112 on live ranking, and #84 on the race list! Next opponent is  Roberto Cid Subervi. Estrella Burgos might have had great impact on his countrymen. There are three Dominican republic players in top 300, with young Nick Hardt playing junior French Open quarterfinal at the moment.

Some sad news from the Men's Zim Futures 2, in Harare. All 3 Zimbabwean players are eliminated in quarterfinals.

Huge ranking improvment for  Benjamin Lock thank incrase the ranking of 60 positions and join in the top 450 on the ranking (he is #438). It's very nice see tournament in this exotical place.. i hope that Zimbawe will increase their athletes base and they will be able to find a nice tennis player (and maybe go at the Olympics )
