Four Months of UTR Pro Tennis Tour Results; Rain Delays Start of USTA Winter National 18s and 16s, B14s No. 3 Seed Falls in San Antonio

The UTR Pro Tennis Tour will start up again in just a few days, but now is a good time to recap the results this year's finals in the United States. With all the talk of the ATP Accelerator Program and its boost for ITF Juniors and ITA Collegians, it's important to remember that many players who might not be eligible for those initiatives earn funds in the UTR PTT events that allow them to compete for ranking points in ITF tournaments. You will recognize many names from the college and junior circuits in the results below, I'm sure.

Rain overnight and this morning in Orlando led to the cancellation of the girls 16s and 18s first round singles matches at the USTA Winter Nationals. The boys 16s and 18s first round singles matches were pushed back to late afternoon and many are still in progress. The girls will play their first round singles matches on Friday, as well as two rounds of doubles, while the boys will play two rounds of doubles. I'll have a seed report from the 16s and 18s after tomorrow's singles.

The weather in San Antonio for the 12s and 14s Winter Nationals is looking quite good, at least until Tuesday, although temperatures drop into the 30s at night. The first round was completed today, and there were few upsets; the top 16s seeds in the boys 12s and the girls 14s all won their first round matches.

In the girls 12s, No. 15 seed Ana Kapanadze lost to Danielle Han 7-6(4), 6-1, the only top 16 seed to exit in the opening round. 

In the boys 14s, two top 16 seeds were sent to the backdraw: 
No. 3 seed Sean Peng lost to Eli Kaminski 7-6(7), 6-1 and No. 9 seed Keshav Muthuvel was beaten by Greylon Durkin 6-4, 6-3.
