Last year if you recall, Christian Harrison wasn't seeded, drew the top seed in the first round, and ended up winning the back draw. When I inquired about not seeding Vickery, I was told that since she doesn't play 14s, they have nothing to go on, but she won the Easter Bowl 14s this spring. Also, I would think that an ITF ranking of 106 says something about her ability.<BR/><BR/>The probable Vickery - Bouchard round of 16 match is already on my "don't miss" list for Saturday.<BR/><BR/>As for Kerznerman and Kozlov, they only seed one player per country, and Toshiki Matsuya of Washington is at the top of the USTA rankings.Colette Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905215531491180014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-85228153092136050112008-12-15T19:11:00.000-05:002008-12-15T19:11:00.000-05:00There is no USTA High Performance clothing sponsor...There is no USTA High Performance clothing sponsor.<BR/><BR/>Kudla did switch from Reebok to Lacoste.

Her 18's ITF ranking is quite high compared to some of the seeded player's. Also, Kozlov and/or Kerznerman are not seeded in the B12's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
