King beat Noah Rubin 2-6, 6-1, 6-2.  Michael Mmoh is the No. 3 seed in Stockton and will face Mackenzie McDonald in the second round on Thursday.

The only women's Pro Circuit event this week is the $15,000 tournament in Hilton Head South Carolina. It's not surprising that several top juniors are participating, with Sofia Sewing, who qualified, Ann Li, Caty McNally and Great Britain's Emily Appleton through to Thursday's second round.  Georgia recruit Meg Kowalski, playing in her first Pro Circuit event, qualified, then defeated University of Texas freshman Bojana Markovic of Serbia 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 to advance.  Sewing will face McNally, the No. 7 seed, in the second round. Ulrikke Eikeri of Norway is the No. 1 seed, with Ronit Yurovsky the No. 2 seed.

Rhiannon Potkey at the Tennis Recruiting Network is launching a community service initiative that is simple and yet has the potential to be an inspiration to all junior tennis players. Many juniors already participate in community service both in their tennis community and outside of it, and by sending a photo to Tennis Recruiting Network, they can be recognized nationally for what they do locally.  For more details, see this article.
