I almost think it's kinda cruel to have this tourney right before the USO. No one's paying attention, really. It's almost like these kids got held back and had to take summer school or something.
On the other hand, it's easy money if you can get it, as the field isn't particularly strong and the top players aren't particularly focused. So congrats to Igor, FeVer, and Sam for making the semis.
As for the ladies, Caro exacted revenge over Razzano, whose black magic powers were all used up across the pond. Vesnina took out Chakky and Flavs is in the semis after beating Rybarikova. If Flavs wins the whole thing she'll be the USO Series champion. So that's something to look forward to.
