Rain Delays Girls Matches at Spring Nationals Monday



Rain Delays Girls Matches at Spring Nationals Monday ~~~

Mobile--
GIRLS SINGLES UPDATE:
They played until 8:30 p.m., but the girls second round was completed on Monday. The top four seeds--Kristy McVitty, Reka Zsilinszka, Melissa Saiontz and Lauren Lui--all advanced, but Chelsea Preeg, a fifth seed, lost to McCall Jones, a finalist last year in the Easter Bowl girls 16s. There were no girls doubles played on Monday due to the afternoon rain delays.
BOYS DOUBLES UPDATE:
All four of the top seeded teams made early exits in Monday evening's second round. Michael Dierberger and Patrick Dwyer (1) fell to George Navas and Michael O'Shea; Matthew Parks and Andrew Thomson (2) lost to Scott Lieberman and Dennis Nevolo while Richard Lindstrom and John Nanosky (3) were defeated by Alexei Chijoff-Evans and Joshua Zavala. Jared Pinsky and Adam Schwartz (4) were taken out by the thinnest of margins when Ryan Lipman and Austin Roebuck prevailed 7-6,(5) 6-7,(5) 7-6(4).


The 30% chance of rain for this afternoon, actually meant it would be raining 30% of the time, and shortly after noon the sprinkles, showers and sun began a maddening rotation. The boys were fortunate to finish all their singles matches--second round main draw and first round consolation-- and there were no upsets, although yesterday's giantkiller Eric Quigley was defeated by Nicholas Meister 6-3, 6-2.

The girls main draw second round action began, but more rain kept that and the doubles from proceeding as scheduled. One match that did finish saw unseeded Mallory Cecil, a semifinalist at last year's Eddie Herr girls 16s, make short work of Marisa Lambropoulos 6-1, 6-1.
