Mmoh Makes it Through after Atlanta Debacle
Having surprised a few by qualifying for Wimbledon as a lucky loser, Mmoh shocked a lot of people by stunning Felix Auger-Aliassime in the first round there. This was despite starting out as a 17/3 underdog in that encounter.
He was sent packing in the second round by Maximilian Marterer, which was again a bit of a surprise given what had transpired before that.
Mmoh then opted not to play on the grass courts of Newport, instead heading over to Atlanta to participate in the qualifiers. He scraped past Tennys Sandgren in the opener, overcoming match-points in the process.
In the second, he went down in three sets to Lloyd Harris, thereby failing to make the main draw.
Overall, it’s been an average year for Mmoh who had started off ranked 113th in the world and after having hit a season-high of 82nd, he has settled in at 112th at the moment.

Klahn Shocks to Come Through the Qualifiers
In the first three months of the season, Klahn participated in four tournaments at the highest and three on the Challengers circuit. He failed to win a single main draw match in either of them.
Klahn was out of action between March and July when he returned to take part in the Atlanta Open where he was forced to take part in the qualifiers. He lost in the opening round match there to Gabriel Diallo.
With that kind of a record and a ranking that had fallen to 797th – he was once ranked 63rd in the world – it was no surprise that Klahn started out a 6/4 underdog against James Trotter and 21/10 against Sho Shimabukuro in the second.
He defeated them both to make the main draw for the first time at the highest level this year. Can he now make this count?
