Duncan Chan

Yeah, but again, guys got some wins for TCU, certainly.

And we still haven't seen Duncan Chan.

Obviously, that'll be another piece that works his way.

And Jamie McKenzie, the freshman, is going to be playing the tour finals, the junior tour finals next week.

Number one, Dylan Dietrich.

Number two, Paul Inshospe.

Number three, Duncan Chan.

Number four, Max Dillon.

So you still have a lot of top-end talent here in the Texas region, even if you are missing some notable players.

Uh, and so some of those notable players that you are missing in the Texas region, you have, uh, no Duncan Chan for TCU.

It seems like he is skipping this fall.

No Gabriel DeBru for Texas after his disappointing showing, and, you know, no Mulder or Moncey for Texas A&M.

in May and, like, it's so TCU.

I'm like, we just saw Duncan Chan do this in his junior season last year.

Here we go.

Like, what an in- incredible run from Pascual.

I gotta s- be honest, Adam.

When I first looked at this draw, that was how I found out that Thiago Perez transferred [laughs] from Texas A&M to Clemson.

Clemson's got themselves a really, really good team this year, because they return Romain Gaels into this lineup, who knocked off Duncan Chan at NCAAs last year.

They had Victor Markov, who, top 20 player, no doubt.

And as it relates to the men's All-American Championships, which is our focus tonight, you mentioned what's happening at the top of the men's college tennis world.

It was, of course, worth noting, as we did last week when we spoke, you didn't have preseason number one, Dylan Dietrich, number two, Paulin Chastbe, number three, Duncan Chan, number four, Max DeLinn, none of them in these ITA All-Americans.

And certainly, as we were chatting about before we started this podcast.

Dietrich's the incumbent for the guy.

Beats Big Hit and Sasha Rosen 2-2 in the round of 16 just to qualify into the NCAA tournament.

Again, those three wins for a guy who played six last season.

And by the way, the difference between him at six, Duncan Chan at one wasn't that big.

That was part of the strength of the TCU lineup.

So yeah.

The other name we didn't mention Duncan Chan, obviously we had some TCU fun, but like Duncan was the story of last fall.

He gets to go play, doubles with Felix in Davis Cup last weekend, so we don't see him at these All-Americans.

Obviously, he loses round one, I believe, NCAA singles tournament last year.

It also makes sense.

The top of this men's draw, fairly light, given that now we are missing the top four preseason players in Dietrich in Chow's Bay, Duncan Chan of TCU, and Max DeLinn of Michigan.

So with that, Devin Badenhorst of Baylor is your number one overall seed.

In his quarter is...

Okay, so your next section is headlined by number three, Aiden Kim of Ohio State.

He opens against Romaine Gales of Clemson.

Gales knocked off number two seed Duncan Chan of TCU at last year's NCAAs and unfortunately was hurt for most of the spring season.

And so we really did not see him play much in the spring, which was disappointing for a Clemson team that's very much in building mode.

Yep.

So you have number one, Dylan Dietrich, you have number three, Duncan Chan of TCU, I don't know where he is, and you have number four, Max De Len, uh, of Michigan, who was playing in Davis Cup.

And then you have seven of the top 20.

I mentioned Roquemore of Wake Forest is playing San Diego.

He loves playing Davis Cup.

Liam Draxell, Duncan Chan, and Keegan Rice.

Looks like Gabriel Diallo withdrew and I guess Shapovalov wasn't available.

So Felix is going to have Canada on his back, which I think he likes, actually.
