I don't recall Henry Patten being discussed much heretofore - but that's quite an impressive performance.

Stanford are hosting the ITA Northwest regionals which I have been following through their website. Emily Arbuthnott (#69) has cruised through the round of 64 beating Mayan Sela of Pacific 61, 6-3. The round of 32 beating Radina Dimitrova of Portland 6-1, 6-2 and her first ranked opponent in the round of 16, no 89 Sophia Whittle of Gonzaga 6-0, 6-4. She now faces no 50 Sybille Gauvin of St Jose state today.

The QFs are a real battle of the bay with 4 Stanford girls (west side) taking on 3 from Cal (east Bay) and one from St Jose (Hockey town!) State down South.

Emma Higushi #44 who played no 6 for Stanford last year dished out bakery products to our and Fresno States Georgia Lawson 6-1 6-0

My bold prediction is a deep run in the NCAA doubles (perhaps a championship) if she retains her current partner Michaela Gordon they conceded one game in the first round 8-1 win, another encounter with Sophia Whittle is imminent as the take on Gonzagas pair next.

Well, Stanford won the battle of the bay fairly comprehensively Emily winning 6-2, 6-3 against her #50 ranked opponent from St Jose State. She now plays her team mate and likely occupant of the no 1 slot in the team Melissa Lord ranked nationally #7. The two highly recruited freshman play off in the other semi.

Emily and Michaela Gordon beat up opponents from Gonzaga and then Fresno State, 8-1 on both occasions and are looks ng like a potential banker as Stanfords no 1 doubles pair.

Great news from the ITA Northwest regional SF in that Emily Arbuthnott #67 beat Melissa Lord #7 and the player who played in Stanfords No 2 slot last year and likely successor to the No 1 slot, 7-6 (6) 6-4. Given the other semi-final is also an all Stanford affair between the two in coming freshman you may think job done, however she now plays her doubles partner Michaela Gordon (ITF JCH 20) who dished out bakery products in the other semi-final.

There cant have been too many ITA regional finals between players with such good international junior ranks particularly when both are on the same team.

Emily and Michaela lost their doubles semi final on a championship tie break to a team from Oregan who as a team generally punched above their weight last year.

They won't play in proper team formation until January so we won't know until then.

Beating Melissa will do her no halm, she is nationally ranked #7 so that will also positively impact Emilys ranking having also beaten #50 in the QFs. Realistically its a bun fight between, Melissa, Emily and Michaela ( Emma Higuchi and Caroline Lampl are also very strong players last years 3 and 6) for the No1 slot. Michaela is a definite USTA prospect via their much touted college route and chose Stanford over going pro. I would imagine there would be a certain subconscious political pressure to facilitate her development. Realistically she will only be tested in team play in the No1 slot, (perhaps No 2 ?).

Lela Forood the coach is not only an outstanding college coach but also at managing transition to the WTA. Last year she respected seniority with the freshman playing 5 and 6 which on reflection was pretty astute, Emily will have to force the issue and play her way up in the first half of the 2017/18 college season. The two seniors started 1 and 2 last year until Melissa Lord forced her way up into the no 2 slot. Emily could really do with a win today and a strong Autumn if she is to play higher than no 3.

I dont know quite how academic Emma Rafacanu is but she is at a very academic school where the norm is As and A*s. If she can deal with the academics she could do much worse than go to Stanford and let Lele manage her transition to the WTA.

Well hardly a shock but Emily lost out to Michaela Gordon 7-5 6-2. Michaela is the second highest ranked Freshman nationally between an Australian and a Czech Michaela. If Emily keeps this form up I can see her at least in the 3 slot, obviously time will tell.

No time to post results in full (apologies) but in men's Division 1 regional championships, Alex Sendegaya + (Texas Tech) and Joseph Dodrige+ (Wisconsin) were champions in doubles, and Aswin Lizen (Virginia) joined Henry Patten as a champion in singles. Well done to all, and lovely to see Mr Lizen have his moment in the sun. One of the things about playing for such a strong programme is that it's easy to be a bit hidden.

Spectator thank you for highlighting Aswins win, definitely a tough gig trying to get into the team at Viginia, definitely a very positive result guaranteeing a trip to the Nationals at Indian Wells in November. The last Virginian to win his regionals JC Aragone went on to play in the US Open this year not wanting to raise expectations!

I dont feel too sorry for Aswin, things are panning out.

Virginia are a programme on the rebuild having dominated US Mens college tennis for a decade. The head coach has left Brian Boland to become head of USTA development along with most of his players!

The 2017 champions included 4 seniors so arguable Aswin has played a blinder picking this programme, he has had the benefit of elite coaching with some elite of college players as hitting partners (Thai Son Kwiatkowski (NCAA singles champion) and J.C. Aragone (played no 5) are now featuring at challenger level). Now he has peak college years as a senior player and the opportunity to be tested in the No. 1 or 2 slot. With 7 incoming freshman they may not be able to add to their 3 consecutive NCAA teams championships but I think Aswin will now get plenty of time in the Sun!
