Now that my trip to Florida is over, with the laundry done and the mail opened (not quite there on tallying the expenses), I've filed my last recap of the year for the Tennis Recruiting Network, this one on the Junior Orange Bowl. Although the rain is always a source of anxiety at a tournament where there is no indoor alternative and no margin for error in the 7-day, 128-draw schedule, the tournament is always a great opportunity to watch the younger divisions, exclusively. It's the only event on my in-person schedule that does that, so I do feel I missed a lot when it was canceled last year. In any case, congratulations again to Slovenia's Svit Suljic, Moldova's Lia Belibova, Colombia's Alejandro Arcila and Iva Jovic of the United States for their titles last week in Coral Gables.
The 18s had dodged the upset bug the first couple of days at the USTA Winter Nationals in Lake Nona, but today both No. 1s were beaten. No. 21 seed Nikita Filin, who is 15, defeated Alex Visser, the 2021 USTA 18s National Indoor champion, 6-4, 6-3.
In the girls 18s third round, No. 27 seed Esha Velaga, who is 17, defeated top seed Akari Matsuno 6-4, 6-1.
The most notable result in the 16s was unseeded Claire Hill's 4-6, 7-6(7), 7-6(15) over No. 6 seed Elena Daskalova. Thirty-two point tiebreakers (five changes of ends!) are not something you see often at any level of tennis.
Below are the seed reports, the last of these that I will post, although I will update the third round results of the 12s and 14s in Tucson first thing tomorrow. I will post the quarterfinal matchups for Saturday in tomorrow's post, at least for the 16s and 18s; the 12s and 14s draws may not be updated until the wee hours.
