Anisimova, Crawley Top Seeds at Girls Nationals; Pro Circuit Update; Bellis Returns to WTA Stanford Quarterfinals; SoCal Takes Girls 18 Team Title
Amanda Anisimova has been named the top seed at the USTA Girls 18s National Championships in San Diego, with Clay Court champion Fiona Crawley the No. 1 seed in the 16s division.
The Top 16 seeds of the Nationals (for the boys 16s and 18s seeds, which came out on Monday, click here). I am not sure why the girls did not seed the top 16 numerically, which is what the USTA's tournament seeding instructions stipulate.

Anisimova is playing this week at the $60,000 USTA Pro Circuit event in Lexington where she has advanced to Friday's quarterfinals. Anisimova could earn the US Open wild card race by reaching Sunday's final, and would likely pull out of San Diego if that happened. Her top rival in the wild card challenge, No. 2 seed Sonya Kenin, also has reached the quarterfinals in Lexington and if both win on Friday they will play in the semifinals, with the winner likely to earn the wild card. Anisimova plays wild card Emina Bektas; Kenin's quarterfinal opponent will be the winner of tonight's match between Irina Falconi[6] and Robin Anderson. Grace Min[7] and wild card Allie Kiick have also advanced to the quarterfinals.
The quarterfinals in the $75,000 ATP Challenger in Lexington this week feature four Americans, all in the bottom half: Former USC teammates Ray Sarmiento and Daniel Nguyen, Michael Mmoh[4] and Denis Kudla[2]. Former TCU star Cameron Norrie continues to post impressive results, earning his seventh straight Challenger win with a victory over Jared Hiltzik.
Two $25,000 USTA Pro Circuit events are being played this week, with the men in Decatur Illinois and the women in Fort Worth Texas.
Unseeded Lauren Albanese and qualifier Katerina Stewart are the only two Americans to advance to the quarterfinals in Fort Worth. Stewart will face former USC star Giuliana Olmos of Mexico and Albanese plays 16-year-old Emiliana Arango of Colombia.
Cameron Silverman(Elon) and Eric Johnson(USC) are the only Americans to advance to the quarterfinals of the Futures in Illinois. Silverman will play No. 3 seed Harry Bourchier of Australia and Johnson will play No. 5 seed Genaro Olivieri of Argentina. Riley Smith beat top seed Takanyi Garanganga of Zimbabwe in the first round, but lost to fellow qualifier Guy Iradukunda of Burundi 3-6, 7-5, 6-2. Iradukunda is a rising senior at Florida State, and he will meet Aziz Dougiz of Tunisia, a rising junior at Florida State, next.
At the WTA's Bank of the West Classic, No. 8 seed CiCi Bellis advanced to the quarterfinals for the second consecutive year, beating qualifier Veronica Cepede Royg of Paraguay 7-6(3), 6-2. She will face No. 2 seed Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic in Friday's quarterfinal.
Seventeen-year-old Bianca Andreescu of Canada is having a breakout tournament this week at the WTA Citi Open in Washington DC, beating No. 2 seed Kristina Mladenovic of France 6-2, 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals. She will play unseeded Andrea Petkovic of Germany next.
The Southern California section completed a sweep of the USTA National 18s Team Championships on Wednesday, with the girls team beating Southern 4-3 to claim the title. The Southern Cal boys won the title on Tuesday, beating Southern 5-2. Results from the final are below:

Do you know when 18s dubs times and sites will be posted? Draws are out but without times and sites. First dubs start in less than 5 hours, singles in 15 min.
Doubles times are postedas of 9:30 am
Is this one of the strongest girls 18s draws in a long time, if ever? The two most recent Jr Major winners are only #3 and #8.
What would be a comparable draw going back over the years?
Colette, With Paul's 90 points so far this week as of Friday afternoon, pretty sure he has clinched the US Open WC even though there is one week remaining. Paul had a noticeable lead coming in to the week and has only extended his lead. The Lexington winner will earn less points than Paul already has.
I think there is still a mathematical chance for someone at the Masters 1000 in Canada to earn more points.
