In the younger divisions, Girls 14s top seed Dasha Ivanova upheld her ranking and lost only one game in the finals. Two seed Parris Todd and five seed Liam Caruana upset the top seeds in their 12s division; and Boys 14s third seed Augustus Ge prevailed over the two-seed. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=898 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 05:00:00 -0500 Three Californians and an unseeded Georgian celebrated the arrival of a new decade in style, winning USTA 16s and 18s national titles on a sun-kissed New Year's Day in Scottsdale, Arizona. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=896 Tue, 5 Jan 2010 05:00:00 -0500 The first day of 2010 was picture perfect for tennis in Tucson. The top-seeded players for all four divisions came through all the way in straight-sets victories in the finals. By noon on New Year's Day, Alexandra Letzt, Gabrielle Andrews, Spencer Furman and Gage Brymer each was crowned singles champion. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=894 Mon, 4 Jan 2010 05:00:00 -0500 Unseeded Californian Yuki Chiang made her final 14-and-under tournament a memorable one, defeating the top three seeds en route to the Junior Orange Bowl girls 14s title last week. She finished with a flourish, downing No. 1 seed Brooke Austin 6-3, 6-3 in the championship match held at the University of Miami's Neil Schiff Tennis Center. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=893 Thu, 31 Dec 2009 05:00:00 -0500 The weather in Oklahoma felt more like December than October, but for Eugenie Bouchard and Sekou Bangoura Jr. there were no gifts, nothing to suggest a festive holiday. Instead, there were long days waiting for an indoor court, grueling matches and frustrating moments. Yet both handled every challenge last week, claiming their first ITF Grade 1 titles at the University of Tulsa's Michael D. Case Tennis Center. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=860 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 05:00:00 -0500 The final junior slam of the year is now history, and with Great Britain's Heather Watson and Australia's Bernard Tomic capturing the girls and boys titles, that makes eight different players claiming the championships this year. This year's US Open provided plenty of drama and surprises - here are a dozen impressions. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=834 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 05:00:00 -0500 India's Yuki Bhambri and France's Kristina Mladenovic will be the top seeds in this year's U.S. Open Junior Championships, but they're better off reflecting on their previous Junior Grand Slam titles than on the past history of No. 1 seeds in the year's final major. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=831 Fri, 4 Sep 2009 05:00:00 -0500 After eight days of unusually warm sunshine, the Girls' 18 Nationals ended with the first sweep in nine years.

But trophies are not what drive Lauren to play tennis. She loves to compete more than anything else. This year, the Ohio native returned to San Diego to defend her title and earn another shot at the U.S. Open wild card that goes to the winner. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=818 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 -0500 Chase Buchanan marched along a very direct path to the 18s National title at Kalamazoo College's Stowe Stadium, Gonzales Austin took a more winding road in capturing the 16s championship, but both reached their ultimate destination: Flushing Meadow, New York and the US Open. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=817 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 05:00:00 -0500 Jake Albo of Plantation, Fla., is now the proud owner of a USTA gold ball.

Christina Makarova of San Diego led Hayley Carter of Hilton Head, S.C., broke strings in all of her rackets when leading in the first set, and Carter won all but one of the remaining games to win the match 7-5, 6-1. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=815 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 05:00:00 -0500 A mere 20 days after Henrik Wiersholm flew home with the doubles gold ball from the 2009 National Claycourt Championships, he added another two: both singles and doubles gold from the Boys 12s National Hardcourt Championships in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Blue-chip recruit and third-seed Henrik defeated fellow Washington state native and sixth-seed Spencer Furman 7-5, 5-7, 7-6, in a match that lasted almost four hours. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=812 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 05:00:00 -0500
