Crawley Wins Second Straight W35 in Wichita; Fenty, Cayetano Earn Rancho Santa Fe Titles; Kessler Claims Nottingham Title, Wimbledon Seed; Wimbledon Men's Qualifying Features Seven Americans

Former North Carolina All-American Fiona Crawley won her second consecutive W35 title today in Wichita Kansas, with the 23-year-old from Texas defeating 19-year-old Mayu Crossley of Japan 6-0, 7-5, her second victory over Crossley in the past two weeks. 

Crawley, who came from a set down in three of her wins this week, will now move just outside the WTA Top 400 when the points are added, and she has no points to defend until October, so her career-high of 348 is likely to be exceeded this summer.

At the M25 in Tulsa Oklahoma, former University of Oklahoma standout Alex Martinez of Spain, seeded No. 6, won his first Pro Circuit title. The 24-year-old defeated No. 5 seed Alex Rybakov(TCU) 5-7, 6-3, 6-0 in today's final, and when the points are added, he will be at a career-high ATP ranking around 450.

The doubles title went to No. 4 seeds Zachary Fuchs(BYU) and Wally Thayne(Utah, BYU), who beat No. 3 seeds Pranav Kumar(Texas A&M, SMU) and Daniel Milavsky(Harvard) 6-3, 3-6, 10-6 in last night's final. It's the first Pro Circuit title for Fuchs and the second for Thayne.

Like Tulsa, the M15 in Rancho Santa Fe California produced a first-time champion, with 25-year-old Andrew Fenty beating Jack Anthrop, a rising senior at Ohio State, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in today's final. Fenty a former All-American at Michigan, was playing in his first Pro Circuit singles final, while Anthrop, competing in his third, has yet to hoist a winner's trophy.

In last night's doubles final, the unseeded team of Theo Dean(Yale, Cal) and Aadarsh Tripathi(UCLA) defeated No. 4 seeds Finn Bass(Baylor) of Great Britain and Strong Kirchheimer(Northwestern) 6-1, 7-6(5). It's the first Pro Circuit title for both Dean and Tripathi.

Eryn Cayetano added the singles title to the doubles title she won yesterday at the W15 in Rancho Santa Fe, with the No. 2 seed defeating 17-year-old Alexis Nguyen, the No. 4 seed, 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-0 for her fifth career Pro Circuit singles title. The 24-year-old from Long Beach would be expected to have collected several titles during the three previous years of the SoCal Pro Series, but she had claimed just one singles title before today, back in 2022; she now has won three doubles titles in SoCal Pro Series.

McCartney Kessler, who last year at this time was preparing to compete in the Wimbledon women's qualifying, won her third career WTA title today at the 250 in Nottingham. The 25-year-old from Georgia, a former All-American at Florida, defeated Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine 6-4, 7-5 in today's final, which was interrupted by rain with Kessler serving for the first set.

With the title, and Xinyu Wang of China's loss in the Berlin final, Kessler secured the final seed at Wimbledon. Her WTA ranking has gone from 122 a year ago to 32 as of Monday. For more on the final, see this article from the WTA website.

Three former collegians collected ATP doubles titles today at 500s in London and Halle.  No. 4 seeds Julian Cash(Mississippi St, Oklahoma St) and Lloyd Glasspool(Texas) won their fourth ATP title, and third this year, beating unseeded Nikola Mektic of Croatia and Michael Venus(Texas, LSU) of New Zealand 6-4, 6-7(5), 10-6 at Queen's Club.

Tim Puetz(Auburn) and Kevin Krawietz won on home soil, with the top seeds beating No. 2 seeds Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori of Italy 6-3, 7-6(4) in the Halle final. The 2024 ATP Finals champions also have four ATP titles.
