US Open Junior Photo Gallery; Top Seed Bennett Upset in Opening Round of Women's ITA All-American Championships; Satterfield Reaches Second Round at Ann Arbor M15; Nguyen, Schuman and Urhobo Advance at Berkeley W35

The final bow on the US Open Junior Championships was tied today, with the 38 Americans competing in singles in New York earlier this month featured in a photo gallery at the Tennis Recruiting Network. I often get questions on where the photos we take can be viewed, so I'm grateful to have this outlet to display them. Thanks are in order, of course, to my husband Paul Ballard, who took all these photos. He spends much of his time in junior tennis as a site director, but the US Open is one tournament where I have the luxury of a photographer, which frees me up to actually watch matches.

There was a huge shocker of a result to begin the ITA Women's All-American Championships today, with top seed and NCAA finalist DJ Bennett of Auburn falling to Savannah Dada-Mascoll of Appalachian State 6-2, 2-6, 6-2. Dada-Mascoll, a senior from Great Britain, is 106 in the preseason rankings, but didn't have to go through qualifying, I assume because she is representing the Sun Belt conference. 

Bennett, who also lost in the first round of doubles as the No. 2 seed with Ashton Bowers, was one of five seeds to lose in the women's first round, as you can see in the complete results below.

A pre-qualifier is guaranteed to reach the round of 16, with Georgia's Deniz Dilek and Emma Kamper of Utah playing each other Thursday after the each picked up their sixth wins in five days in today's first round.
