 Hey Everyone! I know it's been awhile since my last blog and I'm sure you're all wondering what I've been up to. So here it is! My last two tournaments were in Brownsville, TX and McAllen, TX and while I had a tough one in Brownsville, losing in three tough sets in the last round of qualifying, I got pretty sick in McAllen and had to pull out after winning my first round in the qualifying. After withdrawing from McAllen I was sick for about two weeks and unable to practice or train at all and about a week and a half into it I found out that my Grandmother was not doing very well so I rushed back to Hawaii to see her. She passed away less than two days later and the funeral was held on the Thursday before Easter.

The Bottom Line
| With Chris' semifinal and quarterfinal performances in Hawaii over the past two weeks, he has vaulted 53 spots in the world singles rankings to a career-best #580. Among Americans, Chris has moved up the ladder to #44, which is also a career high mark. In doubles, Chris' world and U.S. rankings of #588 and #60 remain unchanged from last week.
