Seeds Sparse in Friday's NCAA D-I Singles Quarterfinals; Top Seeds Out in Men's Doubles; Reddy Reaches ITF J300 Semis in Zapopan; Urhobo and Payne Advance to W35 Boca Raton Quarterfinals

Only three seeds from both the men's and women's singles have reached Friday's NCAA Division I quarterfinals at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona Florida, although after the first two days of upsets, there weren't many seeds left to lose during today's round of 16.

The only top 8 seed remaining in the men's draw is No. 8 Ozan Baris of Michigan State, who reached the final last November in Waco. In that final, he faced Michael Zheng of Columbia, losing 6-2, 4-6, 6-2; tomorrow will be a rematch of that championship match after Baris defeated Ilia Snitari of UNLV 6-4, 7-6(5) and the unseeded Zheng beat Romain Gales of Clemson 6-3, 6-2.

The winner of that quarterfinal will play the winner of the match between Wake Forest's Luca Pow and Princeton's Paul Inchauspe, a 9-16 seed. Pow, who played at lines 5 and 6 for the 2025 NCAA team champions, took out No. 7 seed Dylan Dietrich of Virginia 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, while Inchauspe got his first uncompicated win with a 6-2, 6-4 decision over Will Jansen of Georgia.

In the top half, Petar Jovanovic of Mississippi State, a 9-16 seed, defeated Keegan Rice of Virginia, who had beaten top seed Jay Friend of Arizona in Wednesday's second round. Jovanovic will face Trevor Svajda of SMU, who had his first victory this week in straight sets, beating No. 6 seed Kenta Miyoshi of Illinois 6-2, 6-4.

The only quarterfinal with two unseeded players will feature Max Dahlin of Michigan against Martin Borisiouk of North Carolina State. Dahlin, a redshirt freshman, who has yet to lose a match in his college career in singles or doubles, defeated No. 4 seed Matt Forbes of Michigan State 7-5, 1-6, 7-6(3). Borisiouk, who was initially seeded 9-16 but had that taken from him when Jack Loutit of Kentucky got in as an alternate and took that seed, continued to have the key to beating DK Suresh of Wake Forest. Borisiouk, the first NC State player to reach the NCAA quarterfinals since John Sadri in 1978, is now 3-0 against Suresh this year after a convincing 6-4, 6-1 victory today.

Only seven round of 16 matches were played today in the women's draw, with Lily Jones of Michigan giving an injury walkover to Emily Welker of Mississippi. Welker will face No. 4 seed Savannah Dada-Mascoll of Appalachian State, who came from 3-0 down in the third set to defeat Emma Charney of Southern Cal 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.  Dada-Mascoll, a senior from Great Britain, makes history for her school with every win, as the program had never had an NCAA participant, let alone an All-American or an NCAA quarterfinalist.

Charney's younger sister Piper, the No. 3 seed from Michigan, lost to Carolina Gomez Alonzo of Arkansas 6-2, 6-2. Gomez Alonzo will play Jana Hossam Salah of Southern Cal in one of the two all-unseeded quarterfinals, after Hossam Salah defeated Mia Slama of North Carolina State 6-4, 6-0.

The other all-unseeded quarterfinal will feature Berta Passola Folch of Cal and Kyota Kubo of Kansas. Passola Folch defeated Gabriella Broadfoot of North Carolina State 6-4, 6-3 and Kubo breezed past Duke's Irina Balus 6-4, 6-1. The winner of that match plays the winner of the Dada-Mascoll-Welker quarterfinal.

The only match between two seeds has No. 2 Carmen Herea of Texas facing North Carolina's Reese Brantmeier, a 9-16 seed. Herea rebounded from a first-set loss to Ohio State's Luciana Perry, a 9-16 seed, just as she had done in the semifinals of the ITA All-American Championships in September, earning a 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory. Brantmeier dropped the second set for the third straight match, but defeated Auburn's Ava Esposito 6-2, 3-6, 6-1.

All eight singles quarterfinal matches are scheduled for 10 a.m., which is frustrating for those of us who would like to watch more tennis throughout the day. With only Brantmeier and Dahlin still in both singles and doubles, there was an opportunity to play four of the quarterfinals later in the day, which would be much more fan-friendly than this choice. All the doubles are scheduled for 1 p.m. or 2 p.m., so it's likely there will be no tennis at all for any fans who would like to watch NCAA tennis after work on Friday.

The doubles draws have not been immune to all the upsets this week, with the top seeds and ITA All-American champions in the women's draw losing in the first round yesterday and the top seeds and ITA All-American champions in the men's draw losing in the second round today.

Benito Sanchez Martinez and Petar Jovanovic of Mississippi State lost to Mans Dahlberg and Dylan Dietrich of Virginia 6-3, 7-6(3), leaving only one seeded team in the top half of the draw.
