ITA All-Americans Announced; Women's Kickoff Draft Complete; Rojer Wins French Open Mixed Title; No US Juniors Remain in Singles at Roland Garros, Three in Doubles Semifinals

The ITA announced the list of Division I All-Americans today, with 50 men and 41 women receiving the honors in either singles or doubles or both. The list is not complete until the final rankings are released, because making the Top 20 in the season's last rankings is one of the three criteria for the award (being seeded for the NCAA individual tournament and reaching the third round of the NCAAs are the other two). With so many upsets in the men's singles tournament, there were bound to be more than the usual number this year. Last year, there were 45 All-Americans in men's tennis.

Only 14 players--seven men and seven women--were All-Americans in both singles and doubles in 2014.  They are:

Peter Kobelt, Ohio State
Alex Sarkissian, Pepperdine
Soren Hess-Olesen, Texas
Yannick Hanfmann, Southern Cal
Raymond Sarmiento, Southern Cal
Gonzales Austin, Vanderbilt
Ryan Lipman, Vanderbilt

Beatrice Capra, Duke
Lauren Herring, Georgia
Jamie Loeb, North Carolina
Hayley Carter, North Carolina
Robin Anderson, UCLA
Jennifer Brady, UCLA
Julia Elbaba, Virginia

For the complete list, see the ITA release.  Lists for the other divisions and for past years can be found here.

The women's Kickoff Weekend draft was completed today, and as I noted yesterday, participation was down, particularly compared to the men.  In addition to the teams I mentioned yesterday, these teams also declined to play in the preliminary round before the ITA Team Indoor Championships when their turn came to choose a site: Oklahoma, Illinois, Arkansas, Brigham Young and North Carolina State.  The tournament host this year is again the University of Virginia. To see the regional groups, see the ITA hub page.

The mixed doubles championship match was played at the French Open today, and former UCLA Bruin Jean-Julien Rojer collected his first slam title, partnering German Anna-Lena Groenefeld to defeat No. 8 seeds Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia and Julia Goerges of Germany 4-6, 6-2, 10-7. The 32-year-old Rojer, who was an All-American at UCLA in singles and doubles in 2001 and in doubles in 2002, was playing in his first slam final, although he has long been one of the world's top doubles players. He is a native of Curacao, representing the Netherlands in tennis.  For more on their title, which came in their first time playing together, see this AP story.

Doubles is where the US junior success was today at Roland Garros as well, with Stefan Kozlov falling in the quarterfinals of singles, but he, CiCi Bellis and Tornado Alicia Black reached the semifinals in doubles with wins today.

Kozlov, the No. 6 seed, lost to his doubles partner Andrey Rublev of Russia 7-5, 3-6, 6-4. Kozlov had a set point at 5-4 40-30 in the opening set, but lost the next three points and dropped his next service game as well.  After winning the second set quickly by the standards of the two-and-a-half-hour match, Kozlov was broken early in the third set and couldn't get the break back. (For more on this match, see Peter Bodo's coverage at tennis.com).  Rublev, the No. 4 seed, will play No. 2 seed Orlando Luz of Brazil, who beat Johan Sebastien Tatlot of France 7-5, 5-7, 6-4.  France does have a home hope however,  with No. 5 seed Quentin Halys through to the semifinals. Halys beat qualifier Seong-Chan Hong of Korea 7-5, 6-4 and will meet No. 7 seed Jaume Munar Clar of Spain, who has not lost a set en route to the semifinals, cruising past Marcelo Zormann of Brazil 6-1, 6-2 today.

Kozlov and Rublev have been similarly dominant in doubles, with the top seeds dropping exactly five games in their three victories, including a 6-4, 6-1 win over No. 8 seeds Pedro Martinez Portero and Munar Clar today.  They will play unseeded Halys and Benjamin Bonzi in Friday's semifinals. 

The girls semifinals feature top seeds Ivana Jorovic of Serbia against No. 10 seed Francoise Abanda of Canada and No. 8 seed Darya Kasatkina of Russia against unseeded Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic.  For more on the singles, see the ITF junior website article.

In the girls doubles, Vondrousova and CiCi Bellis, the No. 7 seeds, continued to blow through opponents, and have lost only nine games in three matches. They will play unseeded Luisa Steffani of Brazil and Renata Zarazua of Mexico in the semifinals.  No. 4 seeds Naiktha Bains of Australia and Tornado Alicia Black also had no difficulty today, losing only three games in their quarterfinal match.  They will play unseeded Ioana Ducu and Ioana Rosca of Romania in Friday's semifinals.

For complete draws, see the Roland Garros website.

Kozlov into French Junior Quarterfinals; Loeb, Giron Finish Season Atop ITA Rankings; Men's Kickoff Weekend Draft Complete

Surviving the disruption of a rain delay, 16-year-old Stefan Kozlov defeated No. 10 seed Duck Hee Lee of Korea 7-6(4), 6-1 in third round action at the French Open Junior Championships Wednesday, and his opponent in Thursday's quarterfinal will be familiar, in more ways than one. 

Kozlov, seeded sixth, will face his friend and doubles partner Andrey Rublev of Russia, the fourth seed, in a rematch of their quarterfinal meeting at the Australian Open juniors back in January.  In one of the more puzzling scorelines of that junior slam, Kozlov beat the 16-year-old Rublev 6-2, 6-1 and went on to reach the final, where he lost to Alexander Zverev of Germany.  Rublev is playing in only his third junior slam, while Kozlov has now played seven, but neither lacks for international experience and Rublev has three Futures title, while Kozlov has yet to reach a final at that level.

The other boys quarterfinals have qualifier Seong-Chan Hong of Korea facing No. 5 seed Quentin Halys of France, No. 14 seed Marcello Zormann of Brazil against No. 7 seed Juame Munar Clar of Spain and No. 9 seed Johan Sebastien Tatlot of France meeting No. 2 seed Orlando Luz of Brazil.  Munar Clar eliminated No. 11 seed Michael Mmoh 6-2, 6-1 in today's third round, and spoke to Sandy Harwitt about the match at the ITF junior website. None of the eight boys remaining reached the quarterfinals last year.

The girls quarterfinals did not turn out as predictably, with three unseeded players in the final eight.  Top seed Ivana Jorovic of Serbia will face 2013 quarterfinalist Kristina Schmiedlova of Slovakia and unseeded Paula Badosa Gibert plays No. 10 seed Francoise Abanda of Canada(also featured in the Harwitt article). No. 8 seed Darya Kasatkina of Russia, who also reached the quarterfinals last year, faces No. 16 seed Iryna Shymanovich of Belarus, and qualifier Rebecca Sramkova of Slovakia, who received entry into qualifying solely on the basis of her WTA ranking, will play 14-year-old Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic.

Three US juniors remain in the quarterfinals of doubles, with Kozlov, Tornado Alicia Black and CiCi Bellis still alive. Bellis and Vondrousova, the No. 7 seeds, won their second round match today against Katerina Jokic of Serbia and Helen Ploskina of Ukraine 6-2, 6-2. Black and Naiktha Bains of Australia, the No. 4 seeds, and Bellis and Vondrousova are the only seeds remaining in the girls doubles draw.

For the complete draws, see the Roland Garros website.

The draft for the men's Kickoff Weekend in January, which will decide 15 of the 16 teams playing in the National Team Indoor Championships next February, took place today.  Illinois, the host school for the men's tournament, which will be at the Midtown Athletic Club in Chicago, receives an automatic entry, so they do not host a regional.  All the other teams in the Top 16 are hosting, with only two teams, No. 48 Dartmouth and No. 58 Cornell, declining to participate.  As I say every year, I love this method of determining who plays where, with no committee making that decision, but rather each visiting school deciding what works for them, and which site gives them the best chance of advancing.

The women's draft is tomorrow, and as has been the case for several years now, participation is less enthusiastic, and there are three Top 20 teams, and nine Top 75 teams who have declined their place in the Kickoff Weekend. No. 8 Stanford, No. 14 Baylor and No. 19 Notre Dame are not playing, nor are South Carolina(26), Ole Miss(28), Arizona(33), Tennessee(34), Ohio State(35), Long Beach State(40), Indiana(51), Washington State(52) and Elon(72).  I've heard that the increased number of conference matches due to conference realignment, especially with women's programs, which are more numerous than men's, is partially responsible for these opt-outs, as is the .500 winning percentage rule, which the NCAA has established as a requirement to participate in the NCAA team tournament. If you take three losses at the Team Indoor and play in a conference like the SEC, where conference wins are tough to come by, you may have to scramble to schedule some doubleheaders against less competitive D-I programs just to get back to .500.  I doubt the NCAA anticipated this would be the consequences of adopting that rule, but it seems to be hurting college tennis, rather than helping it.

For the complete men's Kickoff Weekend regional participants, see the ITA hub page.

Mmoh, Kozlov Reach Round of 16, Bellis Falls to Vondrousova at French Open Junior Championships; Georgia State Men, NC State Women Get New Coaches

#495162259 / gettyimages.com  

Michael Mmoh

After three days of competition, there are just two US players left in the French Open Junior Championships: Stefan Kozlov and Michael Mmoh. No. 6 seed Kozlov defeated Australian qualifier Akira Santillan 6-3, 6-3 to set up a third round meeting Wednesday with No. 10 seed Duck Hee Lee of Korea, while No. 11 seed Mmoh also took out an Australian, Omar Jasika, with considerably more difficulty, winning 5-7, 6-4, 6-3. Mmoh, now sporting a new hairstyle, will play No. 7 seed Jaume Munar Clar of Spain in Wednesday's third round.

Henrik Wiersholm fell in the second round today to No. 4 seed Andrey Rublev of Russia 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 and Alex Rybakov was beaten by No. 3 seed Karen Khachanov, also of Russia, 6-4, 6-3.

The big surprise was in the girls draw, where CiCi Bellis, the No. 2 seed, dropped her first set against 14-year-old Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic 6-0 in 15 minutes and trailed 4-1 in the second set, before ultimately losing 6-0, 6-4 in one of two girls third round matches Tuesday. Usue Arconada, the only other American girl still alive, lost her second round match to top seed Ivana Jorovic of Serbia 7-6(4), 6-2.

Jorovic will play unseeded Fiona Ferro of France in the third round Wednesday, and Ferro is the subject of Sandy Harwitt's article on today's action at the ITF website.  Harwitt also spoke to Stefan Kozlov about his win.

Kozlov and Rublev, the top seeds, have reached the quarterfinals in the boys doubles, while Rybakov(with Matias Zukas of Argentina) and Dennis Uspensky(with Bogdan Bobrov of Russia) are into the second round of doubles after wins today.

Tornado Alicia Black and Naiktha Bains, seeded No. 4, reached the quarterfinals with a win today. Bellis and Vondrousova, the No. 7 seeds, will play their second round match on Wednesday, as will Dasha Ivanova and Katrine Steffensen, who won their first round match today. After two walkovers today, including one by top seeds Francoise Abanda of Canada and Varvara Flink of Russia, the most seeds that could make the quarterfinals are two, Bains and Black, and if they win, Bellis and Vondrousova.  The other six girls seeds have all exited.

Wednesday is the day everyone finally gets to the same round, with only four boys and six girls singles matches on the schedule, as well as eight second round doubles matches. After tomorrow, all draws will be to the quarterfinals.

For draws and schedule, see the Roland Garros website.

A few notes on some college coaching vacancies.  First, I missed the announcement last month that Danielle McNamara was stepping down as the women's head coach at Yale after eight years.  The complete release is here.

North Carolina State has filled its vacant women's head coaching position, tapping Division II Armstrong Atlantic's Simon Earnshaw to take over for Hans Olsen.  Earnshaw coached both the men and women at Armstrong Atlantic, winning nine NCAA titles in his 15 years in Savannah, Ga. The complete announcement is available at the NC State athletic website.

The Georgia State men's program has been in turmoil since March, with both the head and assistant coach fired for NCAA violations and for violating school and athletic department policies.  For more on that, see this article from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.  The men's team is also one of two Division I tennis programs showing up on the NCAA's recent list of those athletic departments not meeting Academic Progress Rates (the other is Florida Atlantic). On May 30, the school's athletic director announced her resignation, although Cheryl Levick will stay at the school as an assistant to the president.

Levick, who will start her new job on July 1, announced today that Wake Forest men's assistant Brett Ross will become the Panthers' new head coach. Ross has been an assistant there under both Jeff Zinn and current head coach Tony Bresky.  Women's head coach Robin Stephenson, who was working as interim head coach after the departure of Miha Lisac for West Virginia last fall, was given a one-year contract according to today's release.

Top Seed Tiafoe Loses in French Juniors Second Round; Pro Circuit Update; Women's 2014 Collegiate Hall of Fame Class Announced

Day Two of the French Open Junior Championships started well, with Henrik Wiersholm recovering from a set down to defeat Joao Menezes of Brazil 3-6, 6-2, 6-4. That gave the US boys a perfect 7-0 first round record, but the second round was an entirely different story.  Three US boys--Taylor Fritz, Noah Rubin and top seed Francis Tiafoe--played their second round matches Monday and all three lost.  Fritz, who had beaten Orlando Luz, the No. 2 seed from Brazil, last week in the quarterfinals of the ITF Grade 1 Astrid Bowl in Belgium, lost 6-4, 6-0 to him today and qualifier Rubin, who reached the finals of a Futures in Spain two weeks ago, fell to No. 5 seed Quentin Halys of France 6-3, 6-3. (Back in 2010, Halys beat Rubin in the finals of Les Petits As).

Tiafoe had taken the first set from Jan Choinski of Germany, ranked 31 by the ITF to Tiafoe's 3, but Choinski roared back to take the next two sets and a 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 victory.  I'm not familiar with Choinski's game, but he obviously prefers clay, having played only one hard court tournament in the 12 ITF junior tournaments he's competed in this year.The German, who will turn 18 next month, has not competed in the US.   Tiafoe talked with Peter Bodo of tennis.com about the match, and it sounds like Choinski has a big serve, which should be somewhat negated by the clay, but Tiafoe mentioned it as a key to his loss.  By the way, Jon Wertheim addresses the Tiafoe hype issue in this Sports Illustrated article from the French Open today, responding to a question from a reader.

With today's new junior rankings out, Luz has overtaken Tiafoe for the No. 2 spot behind Alexander Zverev of Germany. Zverev, 17, has not played a junior tournament since winning the Australian Open boys title in January and has not entered the Wimbledon Junior Championships either. With Tiafoe's losses today in singles and doubles, (he and Michael Mmoh, the No. 2 seeds, lost to Romanians Bogdan Apostol and Nicolae Frunza 6-4, 7-5) it appears unlikely he will be the top seed in Wimbledon in four weeks.

Tiafoe was one of three boys seeds to fall in the second round, after all 16 made it through the first round.  No. 12 seed and Eddie Herr champion Kamil Majchrzak of Poland lost to Lucas Miedler of Austria 6-2 6-1 and qualifier Seong-Chan Hong of Korea defeated No. 13 seed Jumpei Yamasaki of Japan 6-2, 2-6, 6-0.  Eight other second round matches are scheduled for Tuesday, with Americans Mmoh(11), Stefan Kozlov(6), Alex Rybakov and Wiersholm in action.

Girls No. 2 seed CiCi Bellis trailed French wild card Emmanuelle Salas 3-0 in the second set, but she won six straight games to post a 6-1, 6-3 second round victory.  Bellis has moved to No. 2 in the ITF Junior rankings this week, ahead of top seed Ivana Jorovic of Serbia. Jorovic won her first round match today 6-2, 6-2 over Jaqueline Cristian of Romania. In her next match, Bellis plays 2013 Junior Orange Bowl 14s finalist Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic, who is two months younger than the 15-year-old Bellis.

For some reason, both No. 2 seeds--Bellis and Luz--are scheduled to play their third round matches Tuesday.  There are two girls third round matches and four boys third round matches scheduled for Tuesday. I'm not sure why some of those who have played two matches already aren't given the day off while the rest of the second round matches are completed, but they aren't. Maybe the weather forecast is behind this scheduling, but I don't care for this staggering of rounds.

Qualifier Raveena Kingsley lost her first round match today, meaning only Bellis and Usue Arconada, who plays top seed Jorovic in the second round on Tuesday, remain of the seven US girls who began the tournament in the main draw.

Complete draws and Tuesday's schedule can be found at the Roland Garros website.

The Pro Circuit has been quiet in North America lately, and again last week there were no men's Futures, and none on the schedule next week either. At the women's $10,000 tournament on Hilton Head Island last week, former Tennessee All-American Caitlin Whoriskey swept the titles.  The 26-year-old, who reached the NCAA doubles final in 2010 with Natalie Pluskota, teamed with former Iowa standout Sonja Molnar of Canada to take the doubles title, Whoriskey's seventh on the Pro Circuit. Molnar and Whoriskey, seeded No. 2, defeated unseeded Macall Harkins (TCU) and Lauren Albanese 6-3, 6-4 in the final.

The No. 7 seed in singles, Whoriskey downed her doubles partner, seeded second, in the quarterfinals, and defeated top seed Elise Mertens of Belgium 6-3, 7-6(5) in the final. It is Whoriskey's first ITF Women's Circuit singles title.

This week the women's' USTA Pro Circuit is in El Paso Texas for a $25,000 tournament.  Qualifying will be completed on Tuesday. Top seed in the tournament is Connie Hsu(Penn), who now represents Taiwan, not the US.  Jamie Loeb(UNC), Christina Makarova, Brooke Austin, Ellie Halbauer, Peggy Porter, Danielle Lao(USC) and Denise Muresan(Michigan) are just some of the Americans in the main draw.

Four juniors won Futures over the weekend, with Elias Ymer of Sweden, Hyeon Chung of Korea, Gianluigi Quinzi of Italy and Andrey Rublev of Russia collecting titles.  I will have more on them in Friday's May Aces for the Tennis Recruiting Network.

The ITA Women's Collegiate Hall of Fame today announced six inductees: Katrina Adams, Stacy Margolin (Potter), Cecelia Martinez, Bob Meyers, Jeff Moore and Lindsay Morse (Bennett).  The Women's Collegiate Hall of Fame is located at the College of William and Mary, where the induction ceremonies for this 2014 class will be held in November.  For more on those receiving this honor, see the ITA release.

US Boys Undefeated on Day One of French Open Junior Championships; Third Seed Black Falls in Opening Round

#495134525 / gettyimages.com

Overall the US players did well on the first day of the French Open juniors, primarily due to the boys, who went 6-0 on the day, and didn't drop a set in the process.

Taylor Fritz, who received a special exemption into the main draw, beat Ku Keon Kang of Korea 6-4, 6-2 to set up another meeting with No. 2 seed Orlando Luz of Brazil, who Fritz surprised in the quarterfinals of the Grade 1 Astrid Bowl in Belgium last week. Michael Mmoh, the no. 11 seed, beat Wei Qiang Zheng of China 7-6(5), 6-1, qualifier Noah Rubin downed Bastian Malla of Chile 7-5, 6-3, No. 6 seed Stefan Kozlov defeated Ryotaro Matsumura of Japan 6-4, 6-2 and Alex Rybakov eased past Chan-Yeong Oh of Korea 6-4, 6-4.

Top seed Francis Tiafoe didn't have an easy time with French wild card Clement Larriere of France, but he got a late break in both sets to earn a 6-4, 7-5 decision. Tiafoe, who according to the ATP's Greg Sharko is the first American boy to be the top seed at the French since Ben Testerman in 1979, has been much in the news lately, with the CBS Morning Show doing a short feature on him which aired last month, as well as articles from Jon Wertheim at Sports Illustrated and Liz Clarke at the Washington Post. All this attention makes me uncomfortable, having lived through the Donald Young teen years, but I am reassured by the knowledge that every player and every player's situation is different. Everyone who conributes to the "hype" mentions the "hype" and I guess I'm no different, but there are dangers in junior success, which Justin Gimelestob mentions in this article by Clarke. Gimelstob was in no way as internationally successful as Tiafoe has been, but the times were different then, and his point on the dangers of focusing on winning rather than improving is certainly a valid one.  Doug Robson of USA Today went out to have a look at Tiafoe today and provided this report.

The US girls were not nearly as successful as the boys, going 2-4 on the day, with only No. 2 seed CiCi Bellis and Usue Arconada picking up victories. Bellis defeated the dangerous Kimberly Birrell of Australia 6-3, 6-3 and Arconada rolled past Italian Bianca Turati 6-0, 6-0 in 47 minutes for the two US wins.

No. 3 seed Tornado Alicia Black went out to Paula Badosa Gibert of Spain, who has won two ITF Grade 1s this year and is inside the WTA Top 500, but the scoreline--6-2, 6-1--was still unexpected.  Sofia Kenin, who had such an impressive Orange Bowl on the Har-Tru, reaching the semifinals there, lost to qualifier Tereza Mihalikova of Slovakia 6-3, 6-3 today in Paris.  Dasha Ivanova and Katrine Steffensen also lost in straight sets.

Black was hardly the only seeded girl to struggle today, although she was the highest seed to go out.  No. 6 seed and Orange Bowl champion Varvara Flink of Russia lost to Great Britain's Isabelle Wallace, with No. 7 seed Ziyue Sun of China, No. 9 seed Anhelina Kalinina of Ukraine, No. 12 seed Priscilla Hon of Australia, No. 13 seed Olga Fridman of Ukraine and No. 14 Anna Bondar of Hungary all losing in the first round as well.

The boys seeds were a perfect 12-0 on Sunday.

Top girls seed Ivana Jorovic of Serbia plays her first round match tomorrow, with eight first round matches on the schedule for both boys and girls. Fritz, Tiafoe and Rubin are the US boys playing their second round matches Monday, while Henrik Wiersholm will play his first round match against Joao Menezes of Brazil.  There are six second round girls matches on Monday's schedule, including Bellis' meeting with French wild card Emmanuelle Salas.  Raveena Kingsley, who qualified, will play her first round match again Katie Boulter of Great Britain.

Doubles play also begins Monday. Mmoh and Tiafoe are the No. 2 seeds, with Kozlov and Andrey Rublev of Russia the No. 1 seeds.  Rubin and Wiersholm are playing together, with Rybakov partnering Matias Zukas of Argentina and Fritz partnering Marc Polmans of Australia. Dennis Uspensky, who did not get through qualifying, did get into the doubles, and will compete with Bogdan Bobrov of Russia.

Kaitlyn McCarthy, who also did not get through qualifying in singles, is in the doubles draw with Sofia Kenin, a pairing that reached the Orange Bowl final last December, losing to Naiktha Bains of Australia and Black, who are also playing together this week and are the No. 4 seeds. Ivanova and Steffensen are a team and Bellis is playing with Marketa Vondrouskova of the Czech Republic, with the pair receiving the No. 7 seed.  Kingsley is playing with Tami Grende of Indonesia and Arconada is partnering Kamonwan Buayam of Thailand.  Canada's Francoise Abanda and Flink are the top seeds in the girls doubles.

Complete draws can be found at the Roland Garros website.
