Congrats to Routliffe for finals in singles and doubles last week! That's very nice for her, especially after her last stretch in singles. She moves to a career high of 33 this week. Only one tournament comes off her ranking before the end of the year, so she has a chance to higher if she plays the end of year tournaments. Petrick is at a career-high of 255. Liang went up 77 places after her QF to Routliffe. Nice to see her winning again!

There's a G5 going on in Canada too, some interesting younger players there. Vanessa Wong ('99) made it to FQR. Sebov and Kopcalic are also playing. Interesting to see how they do here.

Okay, it's time for the junior fall swing! Let's see how we do.

Week of Nov 19:
Yucatan G1
MD: Abanda

Week of Nov 26:
Eddie Herr G1
MD: Abanda, Routliffe, Zhao
QD: Akkerman
Alt: Chypyha (10), Miller (18)

Bahamas G5
MD: Nicole Bunea
QD: Ormond, Kool, Mirceta

Week of Dec 3:
Orange Bowl GA
MD: Abanda, Zhao, Routliffe
QD: Akkerman
Alt: Chypyha (34)

Petrick pulled out of all three big events, which is too bad. She would've made the main draw in the first and the qualy in the other two. Hopefully she's not injured. Surprised not to see Liang or Prokopuik on any of the entry lists either.

And just for fun, points to defend until the end of the year:
Abanda 0
Zhao 80 singles + 80 doubles = 100
Routliffe 0
Akkerman 0
Chypyha 0

Good luck to all the juniors in the next few weeks!

*edit* Just found Petrick, Liang, Prokopuik on the entry list for Orange Bowl and Eddie Herr 16s, so I guess they'll play there. There's a few other canucks in the q and main draws there too.

We should congratulate Carol Zhao on accepting a scholarship offer at Stanford next year.

A great school for both athletes and serious academics alike.

Definitely, will be interesting to see where she plays in the line-up! She just took Townsend to almost four hours at Orange Bowl, tough loss but incredible effort.

Good luck to Gloria Liang in the 16s singles final at Orange Bowl tomorrow!

Rough start for the Canadians. Very sad for Routliffe, especially after the great week she had last week. She's so streaky.

Akkerman lost in the semis of the G1, but should go up to about 80, so we'll have four canadians in the top 100 again!

Gloria Liang and Alexis Prokopuik have been playing G2's in South America! Prokopuik lost R32 and R16, but nice to see her win three matches in a G2. Definitely nice to see Liang back and playing well, she lost R32 and QF this week to the #2 seed in three sets. Liang and Prokopuik also made the semifinals in doubles this week!

Congrats to Akkerman, CHR of 80 last week. Would be interesting to see her try some pro events; she hasn't played any at all, which I found a bit shocking. Anyway, she should be able to play qualies at RG and Wimby, I think!
