Michigan State junior Ozan Baris, a semifinalist at May's NCAAs, won his regional last week on his home courts; this week he is at the ATP Challenger 75 in Sioux Falls South Dakota. After matching his best Challenger result with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 win over Alastair Gray(TCU) of Great Britain on Monday, Baris advanced to his first Challenger quarterfinal today, defeating Calgary finalist Govind Nanda(UCLA) 7-6(4), 6-4.  Nanda served for the first set at 6-5 and had seven set points in the 10-deuce game, but Baris got the break, took an early lead in the tiebreaker and closed it out. Baris made very few errors in the long rallies and looked fresher than Nanda, who was playing his ninth Challenger match in the past 11 days.

Baris will play the winner of tonight's match between wild cards Colton Smith(Arizona) and former ATP No. 14 Kyle Edmund of Great Britain.

At the W100 in Tyler Texas, four teenagers advanced to Thursday's second round: 16-year-old Iva Jovic, 17-year-old Akasha Urhobo, 18-year-old Clervie Ngounoue and 18-year-old qualifier Lexington Reed.

Jovic, the No. 5 seed, rolled past qualifier Anita Sahdiieva(Baylor, LSU) of Ukraine 6-1, 6-0; Urhobo beat 18-year-old qualifier Carmen Herea, a Texas freshman 6-2, 6-3 and will play Jovic next. The two met in May's W75 final in Florida, on clay, with Urhobo winning 6-3, 6-1.

Ngounoue, who defeated Martina Okalova(Tulsa) of Slovakia 2-6, 6-3, 6-3, will face qualifier Mary Lewis(Arizona, Michigan State), who beat No. 8 seed Katrina Scott 6-3, 6-7(5), 7-6(7) in three hours and 33 minutes. Reed, a freshman at Texas A&M, defeated 33-year-old Hiroko Kuwata of Japan 6-2, 6-3 today and will get an opportunity to face teammate Mary Stoiana Thursday.

All 16 first round matches were played today at the men's $25,000 tournament in Norman Oklahoma, with top seed Toby Kodat advancing, but No. 2 seed Felix Corwin and No. 3 seed Micah Braswell eliminated.

Corwin lost 7-6(4), 6-4 to lucky loser Bruno Nhavene, a junior at Oklahoma, who joins teammates Luis Alvarez and Oscar Lacides, both wild cards, in the second round. Braswell lost to qualifier Lui Maxted(TCU) 6-3, 2-6, 6-4.

Tyler features Aggie teammates Stoiana and Reed Thursday, while the W35 in Hilton Head South Carolina will showcase two Georgia Bulldogs, with Dasha Vidmanova taking on Anastasiya Lopata. Vidmanova had the easier path to the second round, defeating 16-year-old qualifier Ishika Ashar 6-3, 6-0, while NCAA singles finalist Lopata, who has not yet qualified for the NCAAs next month, got past Texas freshman Eszter Meri of Slovakia

3-6, 7-6(1), 6-0.

Qualifier DJ Bennett defeated teammate Merna Refaat 6-3, 6-4 today; both have already secured their spots in the NCAAs next month, as has Angella Okutoyi, who also in through to the second round in Hilton Head.
