Boys & Girls: Eddie Herr International Tennis Championship, USA, clay - Grade 1 (Week 48)
Permalink  

This prestigious event was won last year by Reilly Opelka and Dalma Galfi. The main draw comes out later with Ryan Storrie and Alexis Canter expected to be in it. Although there were no British acceptances in the girls event, once Emily Arbuthnott pulled out, Ali Collins has signed in for qualifying and double bageled her hapless Panamanian opponent in the first qualifying round. She needs to negotiate two matches today to make the main draw.

I believe she plays Kelly Chen JWR 92 in the first round.

 She does, though the ITF is very little help so far with this tournament. Ali qualified comfortably, only losing 6 games in 3 matches. Ali, Alexis and Ryan have all avoided seeds, but face very tricky round 2s against strong seeds probably

Boys R1 (L64)

(Q) Bart Stevens (NED) v Ryan James Storrie

Alexis Canter v (Q) Sebastian Baez (ARG)

Is that a 7.45am start on the OOP?

Alexis and Ryan both won, Ali's match is the only missing result from the first round singles.

Ali Collins lost in three sets, which appears to be a good effort against a tough opponent.

Yes. ::(( It's been reversed on my ITF drawsheet. It still said Canter had won two seconds ago (as I hadn't pressed 'refresh'). And then....it was Baez

Alexis really has been having a rather thin time of it recently, in terms of results.

It's true that, as said before, he doesn't strike me as the best potential player of our lot (and didn't when he was number 1, six months ago or so).

But it'd be nice to see him get a few wins under his belt. Especially as he has a lot of points coming off in January.

If Colette's tweets are correct Ryan has upset Olivieri and plays eighth seed Jurabek Karimov next

I hope the tweet is correct, Ryan has had some decent results against ranked opponents and it would've great to see him get a good run at the junior slams next year.

From what I hear, Ryan beat the top-30 player 5-7 , 7 -6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-4)

which is a BRILLIANT result - and against an Argentinian - on clay !

I think Ryan is going to be on his own from now on though - it' not easy for a youngster to be without coach or family support.

So well done, Ryan ! And good luck !!!!!!
