Coming Attractions
Three weeks off now for everybody, but after that it gets crazy and the break will not be as long as would have been preferred. It starts with the Olympics in New Haven, Connecticut in mid-August. Canada and Cincinatti Masters events follow in consecutive weeks, then after one week off the US Open and immediately after that, the WTC Quarterfinals. All in all, six tournament weeks out of seven, and there's now way anybody going deep into these events such as Mehul will assuredly be is going to stay fresh. Fatigue will likely create opportunities for underdogs such as Gaskell, and maybe even as far down the chain as guys like Girsh, to make a little more noise than usual. It'll be a grind of attrition more than anything.
