Donnster taking WCs when he doesn't need to. I assume he has the most WCs in history.

Late entry, presumably. But why? How could these guys-- Rhyne, too -- not know about this in plenty of time to enter it? And how is Jarmere Jenkins still playing? Anyway, Chase Buchanan already lost.

Sandgren, after beating Donald Young in 3 sets:
“He looked pretty dejected,” Sandgren said. “That really helped my confidence, I knew if I just could just hold my serve I’d be in good shape.”
Donald, face it: you don't have The Right Stuff.

Gojowczyk wins the Heilbronn challenger and enters the Top 100. His quick rise in the rankings after years of obscurity is one of the (smaller) stories of the year so far.
