Navarro, Noel Advance to ITF Grade 1 Semifinal Meeting in Belgium, Four Americans Reach Final Round of Junior Qualifying at Roland Garros, Isner, Johnson, Williams Reach French Open Third Round; Sharma, Redlicki Top Final ITA Division I Rankings

Top seed Alexa Noel and unseeded Emma Navarro advanced to the semifinals of this week's ITF Grade 1 in Belgium and they will meet Friday for a place in the final.  Noel defeated No. 7 seed Stefania Rogozinska Dzik of Poland 6-3, 6-2 and Navarro took out No. 3 seed Yuki Naito of Japan by the same score.  The other girls semifinal will feature Vanderbilt recruit Georgia Drummy of Ireland, the No. 8 seed, against No. 6 seed Viktorija Dema of Ukraine.  No. 9 seed Brandon Nakashima, the only US boys in the quarterfinals lost today to unseeded Anton Matusevich of Great Britain 6-2, 6-2. Live streaming is available at the tournament's YouTube Channel.

Top seeds Noel and Naho Sato of Japan have reached the doubles final after beating No. 4 seed Kacie Harvey and Slovakia's Lenka Stara 6-7(3), 7-5, 10-7.

Four Americans advanced to Friday's final round of qualifying for the French Open Junior Championships.  Peyton Stearns[5] is the only US girl to advance; William Woodall, Govind Nanda[10] and Tyler Zink[1] are the US boys playing for a main draw spot.  Live scoring is available at Tennis Ticker.

Serena Williams, John Isner [9] and Steve Johnson advanced to the third round today at Roland Garros, with No. 10 Sloane Stephens and No. 13 seed Madison Keys playing their third round matches on Friday. Stephens plays Camila Giorgi of Italy, while Keys takes on No. 21 seed Naomi Osaka of Japan.

The ITA released the season's final singles and doubles rankings yesterday, with the final team rankings published last week.  I've expanded from my usual Top 10 to Top 20 for singles and from Top 5 to Top 10 for doubles, because any player appearing in those groups have earned All-American status. The official All-American teams will be published later, but Top 20 or Top 10 in the final rankings is one of the criteria. The headings are links to the complete ITA rankings.

And before we get too far removed from the team event, I wanted to add the Division I  All-Tournament teams, which I had some trouble locating.
