So Gong is on a tear, beating Krawczyk and Jones, but I promise I won't watch :haha: :hysteric: :angel:
So for today I'll recommend (not synonymous with me actually watching :sad:)
TUREWICZ vs OLMOS a must ! future Duke vs USC players :drool:
KOSTAS vs SCHOLL
GUILLERMO vs FUENTES
for others I can't really say 'cause I dunno much about one of the contestants :tape:
And ALL doubles matches seems to be promising :)

3rd Round
Monica TUREWICZ (USA) (1) defeated Giuliana OLMOS (MEX) (13) 6-3 6-4
Maria SMITH (USA) defeated Sarah GONG (USA) 6-0 6-1
Kyle :help: I don't understand how the girl who stormed into the Cleveland 10k final as a 15 year old is now two years later losing these matches to random junior girls... she is a good player with variety. Her shots don't have much power, but still she's crafty enough to beat most American juniors. I don't even know how successful she'll be in college... only time will tell I guess.

That's what happened when you hardly played anything above U16. :lol:

you guys are too harsh on her (and Craft too, for that matter :lol: )
She'll have no problem starting at any top 5 teams,
maybe even top 3 singles (well, maybe not at Stanford :oh: )
Andrews def. Craft 5,4 (Craft is not a 'random' player anymore :lol: )
Turewicz def. Scholl, lost the 1st set comfortably and won the remaining ones...those last 2
were full of errors(mostly Chalena's) :lol:
will later post the brief recap after watching ASU at STAN and the doubles final

posted a brief recap.
Scholl (a.k.a. 'Bean' :lol: ) is REALLY good....just schooled Turewicz in the 1st before self destructing from the 2nd :lol: doesn't lack firepower AND can construct pts as well..her control was just sublime, literally painting the baseline even when pushing :lol:.

so will 'dutifully' watch the final, since Zootennis is covering Springs Intl.
Biszantz Family Tennis Center
= the best tennis court for college in the world :bowdown:
he approached me after the match so had a nice chat with Gaby's father.
I told him Gabs is the 'future' :oh: blatant pandering on my part :lol:
well Gabs IS promising, so :angel: )
He said that he worries (heart rate goes up :lol: ) whenever she tenses and make errors during the match, said that normally especially during practices she plays WAY better.
:lol: :hug:
