COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State All-American Aidan Kim has been selected to participate in the US Open Wild Card Playoffs as announced by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) today. The event will be held at the USTA National Campus, June 16-18.
The new event featuring the top American collegiate players, which was announced earlier this month, will more than double the average number of American collegiate players that earn US Open wild cards this year. The winners of the singles and doubles competitions will earn US Open main draw singles and doubles wild cards, respectively, while the men’s and women’s singles finalists will earn US Open qualifying wild cards.
Kim was a singles All-American in his first year with the Buckeyes. He was 19-11 overall this year with 13 wins over ranked opponents and 11 wins at the No. 1 singles spot. He also had 15 doubles wins and was 12-9 at the No. 1 doubles spot.
He advanced through qualifying at the season-opening All-American Championship and made a run to the semifinals. That earned him a spot in the NCAA Singles Championship where he earned All-America status by advancing to the round of 16. He then spent the entire spring ranked in the Top 25 and rose to as high as No. 9.
The singles semifinals will be played on Monday followed by the doubles semifinals on Tuesday and all finals will be contested on Wednesday. The event is free and matches will begin each day at 5 p.m. in order to maximize in-person attendance, while all matches will also be streamed on the USTA National Campus website.
