Harvard's Williams Sweeps Titles at Northeast Regionals, ITA Fall National Fields Nearly Set; Qualifying Complete at Women's $80K, Men's $25K Tournaments in Texas

The last of the ITA Division I Regionals were scheduled to be completed today, and I've compiled all the results of the all singles and doubles matches(save one of the latter, which will be played tomorrow between two TCU teams).

It's noteworthy that nearly half of the women's finals (6 of 13; see Carolina note) were between teammates; a quarter of the men's finals (3 of 12) were contested by players from the same program.

These results are more or less in chronological order. No-ad No-Problem's John Parsons has created a google sheet for the men and the women so you can see the singles fields taking shape for the ITA National Fall Championships. With just a 32-draw for the upcoming Fall Nationals, the regional qualifiers make up the majority of the competitors, along with the semifinalists at the All-American Championships and four wild cards. The two ITA wild cards have not yet been announced.

I had thought that only the doubles winners get entry, but there are as many doubles teams as singles players at the Fall Nationals, so both winners and finalists are in. Usually in a tournament, the number of doubles teams is half the number of singles players.

***Moroni is No. 2 seed at Tallahassee $15K and playing his first round match today for some reason, so I'm not sure when this match was actually played. (UPDATE: Moroni did not travel to Tallahassee; an alternate played the first round match against Matt Kuhar that Moroni was scheduled to play).

The draws were down earlier this evening, but they appear to back up now. Links can be found at the ITA Regional event page.

There are four USTA Pro Circuit tournaments this week, with three men's and one women's event. I'll get to the two men's $15Ks tomorrow; here's the update on the $80,000 women's tournament in Tyler Texas and the $25,000 men's tournament in Harlingen Texas.

Emma Navarro is the top seed in Tyler, and the 2021 NCAA champion at Virginia has a lot of company from other collegians, including all eight qualifiers. 

Five are current collegians: Amelia Rajecki(GBR) of North Carolina State, Ayana Akli of South Carolina, DJ Bennett of Auburn, Eryn Cayetano of USC and Lucia Peyre(ARG) of Oklahoma State. The other five are former collegians: Maria Kozyreva(RUS) of St. Mary's, Martina Okalova(SVK) of Tulsa and Maria Kononova(RUS) of North Texas.

Wild cards were given to Ellie Douglas(TCU), who lost her first round match today to No. 4 seed Mccartney Kessler(Florida) 4-6, 6-1, 6-3; Abigail Rencheli of NC State, who beat Lia Karatancheva of Bulgaria 6-3, 6-2; and US Open girls champion Katherine Hui(Stanford), who plays Cayetano in the first round Wednesday.

Kayla Day is the No. 2 seed; 2023 NCAA champion Fangran Tian(CHN) of UCLA beat No. 5 seed Grace Min 6-2, 6-3 in first round action tonight.

American qualifiers at the Harlingen $25K include two high schools seniors: Rudy Quan, a UCLA recruit and Mikel Anderson, an Arizona State recruit and Texas A&M freshman Ritesh Patil. 

Wild cards were given to local Ethan Silva, who was a freshman last year at Clemson, but is not on this year's roster; JC Roddick a Texas A&M junior, Maxwell McKennon, a senior at Arizona State and Jibril Nettles.

Federico Agustin Gomez(Louisville) of Argentina is the top seed, with 2022 NCAA singles finalist August Holmgren(San Diego) of Denmark the No. 2 seed.

Michigan State sophomore Ozan Baris received entry via the junior exempt program. He and Duke senior Garrett Johns are the No. 1 seeds in doubles and won their first round match today.  Stanford freshman Kyle Kang is the No. 8 seed. All 16 first round matches are scheduled for Wednesday.
