Urhobo Claims W35 Title in Zephyrhills; Combs Falls in Orlando W15 Final; Shelton Makes History in Munich; ACC Conference Titles to Wake Forest and NC State; Texas and Auburn Win SEC Conference Tournaments; TCU Sweeps Big 12 Titles

Nineteen-year-old Akasha Urhobo won her third W35 title of the year today in Zephyrhills Florida, with the No. 3, who received a wild card, beating No. 5 seed Angela Fita Boluda of Spain 7-5, 6-4 in the final.

Urhobo, who won a USTA Pro Circuit tournament at Zephyrhills in 2024 when it was a W75, will add to her lead in the USTA's Roland Garros Wild Card race. When the 35 points are added she will have 100, with two more weeks to go. Kayla Day, who was in second place with 60 points after winning the W35 in Boca Raton last week, did not play this week. The best three results from the five weeks are counted. 

At the W15 in Orlando, 15-year-old wild card Emery Combs fell in the final to qualifier Margaux Maquet of Belgium 6-0, 6-3. Although Combs has played only two Pro Circuit events, one short of the requirement for a WTA ranking, that can be circumvented if a player earns 10 points in a singles tournament. With her singles final and doubles quarterfinal, I believe Combs has met that condition.

The title at the M15 in Orlando went to top seed Corentin Denolly of France, who beat qualifier Justin Roberts(USF, Arizona State) 6-4, 6-3 in today's final.

Another French player, Clement Tabur, won the ATP Tallahassee 75 Challenger, with the 26-year-old No. 5 seed earning his first Challenger title when Joao Reis Da Silva of Brazil retired trailing 6-4, 1-0.

2022 NCAA singles champion Ben Shelton(Florida) won the ATP 500 in Munich today, becoming the first American to win a clay tournament above the ATP 250 level since Andre Agassi in 2002. Shelton, the No. 2 seed, defeated No. 4 seed Flavio Cobolli of Italy 6-2, 7-5 in the final. It's Shelton's fifth ATP title and his second ATP 500 title of the year, after winning Dallas on indoor hard courts.

Former collegians also captured the doubles title in Munich, with Jakob Schnaitter(Azusa Pacific, Wake Forest) and Mark Wallner(Temple, Tennessee) of Germany the champions. Schnaitter and Wallner, who were qualifiers, beat unseeded Theo Arribage and Albano Olivetti of France 6-4, 6-7(4), 12-10 for their first ATP title.

At the ATP 500 in Barcelona, Julian Cash(Mississippi State, Oklahoma State) and Lloyd Glasspool(Texas) of Great Britain won their first title of 2026, after winning Wimbledon and six other titles in 2025. Cash and Glasspool, the top seeds, defeated unseeded Pierre-Hugues Herbert of France and Andrea Vavassori of Italy 6-3, 6-4 in the final.

Arthur Fils of France won the singles title in Barcelona, beating Andrey Rublev of Russia 6-2, 7-6(2) in the final. 

Last night the TCU women joined the TCU men, who had earlier in the day won the Big 12 tournament title at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona.

The only 4-3 match of six finals this weekend came in Norman, where No. 3 seed Auburn defeated No. 9 seed LSU with a win in a third-set tiebreaker at No. 6 singles.  Eva Ionescu, who has played only occasionally for Auburn, got the call today, and outlasted Kinaa Graham, who also had not played regularly for LSU, 6-4, 6-7(4), 7-6(2) to give Auburn their first SEC conference title. With the match ending just an hour or so ago, no article is yet available, but the box score is here.

The Big Ten concluded its regular season today, with the Ohio State, Michigan and USC women sharing the regular season conference title and Michigan State and Ohio State sharing the men's conference title. 

The Big Ten conference tournament brackets are out, with the Ohio State women, who are hosting this year, the top seed.
