Today isn’t over yet, but there’s already been another surprising win. After Jack Sock shocked Charlottesville and outlasted top seed Jesse Levine last night, Rhyne Williams made a little magic today in a three set comeback win over higher ranked Steve Johnson. At #253, Williams is the lowest-ranked quarterfinalist of the field thus far, but his determination today makes him one to watch going forward. Of course, if Somdev Devvarman advances to the QFs in tomorrow’s nightcap, his ranking of #733 would blow that stat out of the water.
In case you’ve lost track, the 1, 3,4 and five singles seeds are gone, leaving #2 Alex Bogomolov as the favorite along with #6 Bobby Reynolds, #7 Tim Smyczek and #8 Denis Kudla. Kudla is on first tomorrow, the same time slot he had on Monday in a convincing first round win. Bogomolov won in straights against Krajicek today. The third quarterfinalist is Alex Kuznetsov, who ended Fritz Wolmarans nice run at the Challenger in straights as well.
