Reynolds to Face Nadal in US Open

8/28/2005

Former Commodore All-American Bobby Reynolds has been playing great tennis of late.

The former top-ranked college player in the country who guided Vanderbilt to the NCAA Championship finals in 2003 recently received his highest rank ever on the ATP Tour in preparing for a run in the US Open at 129.

 

While he slipped a tad to 132 but has an incredible chance to jump leaps and bounds in both rankings and stature as his opening round opponent is current-world No. 2 Rafael Nadal, the 19-year-old Spaniard who won at Roland Garros earlier this summer.

 

The first round of play in the two-week Grand Slam event begins Monday.
