Ohio Valley (Knoxville) Regional

There were 6 former college players that played for Pro singles titles on Sunday and Saketh Myneni (Alabama ’10), Tom Jomby (Kentucky ’14), and Lloyd Glasspool (Texas ’15) were each successful while Peter Kobelt (Ohio State ’14), Finn Tearney (Pepperdine ’13), and Vasko Mladenov (St. John’s ’13) came up short.

Myneni won his second career Challenger singles title by defeating #189 Jordan Thompson 7-5, 6-3 in the finals of the $50K Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Challenger. It was Myneni’s 11th career pro singles title with 9 coming on the ITF Futures Circuit and the other Challenger title coming in India last October. Myneni picks up 90 points with the win and now has a new career ranking of 166.

Jomby won his third career Futures singles title (all this year) by knocking off #542 Julien Dubail 7-6(5), 6-4 in the finals of the Tel Aviv. Israel F13 Future. Jomby picks up 18 points for the title and even though those points don’t get added in until next week he moves up to #360 in the rankings which is a new career high.

Glasspool won his first career Futures singles title by upsetting the #1 seed #345 Miki Jankovic 6-4, 6-3 in the finals of the Heraklion, Greece F7 Future. Glasspool picks up 18 points for the win and when those points are added in next week he’ll have a new career high ranking of around 656 (787 previous high).

Kobelt’s record in Futures finals fell to 0-6 after he lost to #238 Niels Desein 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the final of the Saint-Dizier, France F22. Kobelt still picks up 15 points for the finals appearance and when those points are added in next week he’ll have a new career singles rankings of around 447 (459 previous high).

Tearney’s attempt at winning a Futures in back-to-back weeks came up short when he fell 6-2, 6-2 to #477 Robin Stanek in the finals of the Toowoomba, Australia F8 Future. Tearney picks up 15 points for this result and with last week’s 27 points added in he now has a new career ranking of 416. When the 15 points are added in next week he’ll have another new high of around 379.

Mladenov’s run to the finals in Cherkassy, Ukraine came to an end when he fell 7-5, 6-4 to #359 Ivan Nedelko in the finals of the Ukraine F6. Mladenov is now 0-2 in Future finals with both losses coming Nedelko.
