Frodin Reaches First Pro Circuit Final at W35 Arcadia; Wolf Advances to M15 Final in Naples; Stearns Aims for Third WTA Title in Austin; No. 1 Georgia Women Beat No. 9 LSU; CMS vs Chicago in D-III Women's Indoor Final; USTA Brewer Cup Underway

For the second consecutive week, two teenagers will meet in a USTA Pro Circuit W35 final, but it's not either of last week's finalists. Qualifier Thea Frodin ended the winning streak of 16-year-old Kristinia Liutova today in Arcadia California, defeating the Las Vegas W35 champion 6-4, 6-4. Liutova, who had beaten 17-year-old wild card Melije Clarke in last week's final, was facing Frodin for the first time today. The 17-year-old Frodin, who reached the Australian Open girls semifinals last month, was broken only once in the match, in the first set, while Liutova dropped serve three times.

In her first Pro Circuit singles final Sunday, Frodin will face top seed Akasha Urhobo, who won her fourth consecutive three-set match today with a 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 win over No. 3 seed Lea Ma(Georgia). Urhobo, a 19-year-old from Florida, won a W35 last month in her home state. The two have not played in juniors or on the Pro Circuit. Urhobo is scheduled to compete in the qualifying for the BNP Paribas Open, which begins tomorrow for women.

Top seeds Eryn Cayetano(USC) and Haley Giavara(Cal) won the doubles title, beating No. 2 seeds Jaeda Daniel(Auburn, NC State) and Anita Sahdiieva(Baylor, LSU) of Ukraine 6-1, 6-1 in today's final.

JJ Wolf's comeback from injury has gone smoothly this week at the M15 in Naples Florida, with the former Ohio State All-American advancing to Sunday's final without losing more than three games in any set. Today the 27-year-old wild card defeated 18-year-old USC freshman Max Exsted 6-3, 6-3 to set up a meeting with 19-year-old Miguel Tobon of Colombia. The fourth-seeded Tobon defeated unseeded John Halquist Lithen(Ole Miss) of Sweden 6-2, 6-2 to reach his first ITF men's World Tennis Tour final. 

Exsted and Tobon, the top seeds in doubles, lost to unseeded Adam Jones and Toby Martin of Great Britain 6-4, 6-2 in today's final.

Peyton Stearns has advanced to her third WTA final and her first in almost two years in her collegiate home town of Austin Texas. The 2022 NCAA singles champion, seeded No. 4 this week, has had to win three three-setters, including today, when the 24-year-old from Ohio beat Kimberly Birrell of Australia 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 at the WTA ATX Open. Stearns will play unseeded wild card Taylor Townsend, who won her first career semifinal on the WTA Tour today, beating Ashlyn Krueger 7-6(6), 6-3. 

Women's Division I Team Indoor champions Georgia took out No. 9 LSU today 4-0 in Athens, although four matches went to three sets. The top-ranked Bulldogs had also blanked LSU in the quarterfinals of the Team Indoor earlier this month, but the Tigers did not have their No. 2, Kayla Cross, for that match. The box score is here.

No. 5 seed Claremont-Mudd-Scripps took out top seed Washington-St. Louis 4-3 today to reach the ITA Women's Division III Team Indoor final in Tennessee. CMS will face No. 2 seed Chicago, who won their second straight 4-3 decision, beating No. 6 seed Middlebury to set up a rematch of last year's final. CMS and Chicago have met in the last four ITF Team Indoor finals, with Chicago winning in 2023 and 2025; CMS won in 2024.

The USTA Level 1 Spring Team Championships, know known as the Brewer Cup, are underway, with the 12s in Tucson Arizona and the 14s, 16s, and 18s in Mobile Alabama.
