Kennedy and Tanguilig Win First Pro Circuit Singles Titles; Day Claims Third Title of 2026 at Boca Raton W35; Dostanic Falls in Sarasota Challenger Final; Virginia Women Earn No. 1 Seed in ACC Conference Tournament after Win Over NC State

Jack Kennedy won his first pro tournament today at the USTA Pro Circuit M15 in Boca Raton Florida, with the 17-year-old New Yorker, seeded No. 6, defeating No. 7 seed Andreja Petrovic(North Dakota, Florida State, Duke) 6-3, 6-4 in the final. 

Kennedy, who had reached the semifinals at four other USTA Pro Circuit tournaments since last May, is the fifth player born in 2008, and first American, to win a ITF men's World Tennis Tour singles title. Currently 864 in the ATP rankings, Kennedy should move into the ATP Top 750 for the first time when the points are added.

Kennedy will be playing the Tallahassee Challenger next week, after receiving a main draw spot via the ITF Junior Accelerator Program. 

Petrovic did come away with a title this week, taking the doubles title with partner Alex Kotzen(Columbia, Tennessee). The unseeded pair beat unseeded Will Grant(Florida) and Jeffrey Fradkin(UCLA) 3-6, 6-3, 10-2 in today's final.

At the women's W35 in Boca Raton, top seed Kayla Day won her third title of 2026, beating No. 2 seed Mary Stoiana(Texas A&M) 6-3, 6-1. The 26-year-old Day, who won a W35 in January and a W50 in February, will move up just a few spots in the WTA rankings with the title, going from 158 to around 150, but she boosts her total in the USTA's Roland Garros Wild Card Challenge after earning 25 points for qualifying at last week's WTA Charleston 500, she now has 60 points with three weeks remaining in the race.

Carson Tanguilig, early in her first full year of professional tennis following an All-American career at North Carolina, won her first singles title today at the W15 in Bonita Springs Florida. The unseeded 22-year-old from Georgia, who won the 2023 NCAA doubles title with Fiona Crawley, defeated No. 6 seed Ellie Schoppe(Furman, Florida State), 7-5, 6-4 in today's singles final, after claiming the doubles title on Saturday.

At the ATP Challenger 75 in Sarasota(Bradenton), top seed Yibing Wu of China defeated unseeded Stefan Dostanic(USC, Wake Forest) 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 in this afternoon's final. Dostanic fought back in the second set and was even at 3-all in the third against the ATP No. 115, but dropped the next three games.

With this final, Dostanic is up to a career-high ATP ranking of 270 and the 44 points will earn him contender status in the USTA's Roland Garros Wild Card Challenge, which continues for three more weeks. Dostanic is entered in the ATP Challenger 75 in Tallahassee, where he is scheduled to play No. 4 seed Daniil Glinka of Estonia in the first round.

The conclusion of the regular season for the SEC, ACC and Big 12 conferences was scheduled for today, although rain has forced several of the conference matches scheduled for this afternoon into the evening. The final weekend of Big 10 competition is next week.

The ACC women did complete their schedule, with the University of Virginia claiming the regular season championship and the top seed in the next week's conference tournament with the No. 8 Cavaliers beating No. 14 NC State 4-2 today in Charlottesville. Virginia, who had never won an outright ACC regular season title, went 12-0 in conference play this year, with a win over North Carolina elevating them above the Tar Heels in the final standings.

North Carolina is No. 2, NC State No. 3 and Duke No. 4 in the ACC conference tournament seedings, with those teams getting byes into the quarterfinals. The full schedule for the tournament, again held in Cary North Carolina, is available here.

The other conference tournament brackets have not been posted, but should be available in by Monday at ACC men's tennis, SEC men's tennis, SEC women's tennis, Big 12 men's tennis, and Big 12 women's tennis.
