JT Sundling: Junior Spotlight of the Week:: (ustaboys.com)


JT Sundling: Junior Spotlight of the Week::usta.com~~~

Regular readers of zootennis may recall the Ventura County Star stories about Thousand Oaks superstar JT Sundling. The USTA's junior spotlight accurately describes his year as "amazing," and it's especially appropriate because Sundling is playing a Grade 5 ITF event in El Paso this week and has advanced to the quarterfinals, beating the second seed on Wednesday. Just a reminder----Sundling is fourteen years old and this is an 18-and-under tournament, although admittedly, the field is not a strong one.

Another interesting result from El Paso shows that Courtney (Missy) Clayton played her little sister Mary in the round of 16 and managed to squeeze out a 7-5, 6-4 win. I have no information on the quality of play in the match, but let's hope it exceeded the usual Williams sisters' standard. The Clayton are, ala the Williams, playing doubles together, and have advanced to the quarterfinals.
