December Aces; Fowler Reaches Semifinals at Casablanca Cup
As promised, my December Aces photos and captions are up today at The Tennis Recruiting Network. December is always a huge month due to the Eddie Herr and the Orange Bowls, and last month was no exception, with 18 players featured.
Today at the Grade A Casablanca Cup in Mexico, top seed Denis Kudla was upset by qualifier Agustin Velotti of Argentina 7-5, 4-6, 6-4. Velotti played No. 1 for Argentina in September's Junior Davis Cup final and was beaten by Kudla 6-3, 6-4, clinching the Cup for the U.S. No. 2 seed Harry Fowler advanced to the semifinals however, downing unseeded Italian wild card Matteo Civarolo 6-3, 6-3. Fowler will meet No. 3 seed and Eddie Herr finalist Julen Uriguen of Guatemala, while Velotti plays No. 8 seed Arthur De Greef of Belgium. Kudla and partner Nathan Pasha reached the doubles final, and will play Tamas Batyi of Hungary and Gaetan Lovinfosse of Belgium.
The two remaining U.S. girls were eliminated in the third round yesterday, and today Florida's Alexandra Cercone and her partner Katarena Paliivets of Canada lost in the doubles semfinals.
