The US Open match-ups the last few days look promising.

They don't bring the excitement I do of course, but my protégé Carlos Alcaraz is good enough to spark the NY crowd.

He plays tonight against Ben Shelton (Florida native and US-crowd favorite).

So if you're wondering why the admissions committee at Emory or NYMC (or a school of your choice) isn't sending an II to you, it's the US Open.
