Kevin Kim at Indian Wells

US Men are in action this week at USTA’s Comcast Tallahassee Tennis Challenger at Forest Meadows.

Kevin Kim was eliminated by Kyu Tae Im from South Korea. 6-7(8), 2-6.  USTA’s article on the matches provides some great summaries, but was a bit harsh calling Kim’s upset a treat for the fans.  “Fans who showed up early were treated to the first upset”

John Isner defeated Scoville Jenkins, 6-4, 6-1. Isner then defeated Sweden’s Bjorn Rehnquist 6-1, 7-6 (4).

Vince Spadea was eliminated by Prakash Armitraj 6-4, 6-1.
