Jack Sock is an up and coming player who we haven’t really featured much here on TheTennisTimes. Thus, we found a great video that shows him player against Andre Dome at the 2011 Seascape Challenger event.
Frank Dancevic has been improving of late and has qualified in the Dallas Challenger tournament and then went on to win the entire tournament. Dancevic won the final over Igor Andreev (previously 18 in the world) 7-6 6-3. This game Dancevic the winners cheque of $18,000.
p.s. Frank Dancevic made tennis history in 2011 by becoming the first player to reach the main draw of all four majors through the respective qualifying tournaments at the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open.
Recently we have been playing around with Live Streaming. There are several tennis tournaments that are being streamed online, so we thought we would just re-broadcast the best match we could find.

This is the funniest match point I have ever seen. Bruno Echagaray has a complete melt down during the Dallas Challenger event against Jesse Witten.
Thomas Muster has decided to play a few professional matches on the Challenger tour for a bit of fun. His latest match was at the NORD/LB OPEN Challenger event in Braunschweig, Germany earlier this week. Unfortunately Thomas lost 6-2 6-1 to Conor Niland of Ireland.
Its great to see the classic players still loving tennis and even wanting to scrap it out for fun on the lower level tours. I think it really shows the type of person Thomas Muster is!
I have always wondered why the lower level tours dont actually get any TV time. I have noticed here in the UK that tennis is pretty much never on TV, except Grand Slams. In the USA they have the Tennis Channel, but why has the Tennis Channel not got onto Sky yet? Additionally, how come they never cover the lower level tours, like Futures and Challengers? There could be some interesting pieces on finding the next Roger Federer or Raphael Nadal, but they seem to have such a narrow focus.
