In addition to a great singles draw, there’s massive IRT Pro doubles draw at the US Open; lets do a quick preview.<\/p>\n
r2sports.com links here<\/a>.<\/p>\n There’s 23 teams entered, but just the top 4 qualify into the quarters, making for a very tough qualifying campaign for all but the top teams.<\/p>\n I’m going to predict a nearly chalk qualifying campaign, with the #5-8 seeds all advancing. That means: Though by all means, these teams will have to earn it, with really quality “round of 16” matches in order.<\/p>\n A little birdie has told me that perhaps the Moscoso\/Keller team is out; this may pave the way for\u00a0Jansen Allen<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Nick Montalbano<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to make it into the quarters.<\/p>\n In the main draw, I’m also mostly going chalk, predicting a rematch of last year’s final and the World Doubles final. That means\u00a0Kane Waselenchuk<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Ben Croft<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0versus Daniel De La Rosa<\/strong> and\u00a0Alvaro Beltran<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n This final resulted in one of the greatest matches in recent memory this time last year; will we get another classic?<\/p>\n Final Prediction: Kane\/Ben repeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In addition to a great singles draw, there’s massive IRT Pro doubles draw at the US Open; lets do a quick preview. r2sports.com links here.
