My weekly post for The Tennis Recruiting Network is a review of the ITF Grade B1 in Tulsa that I covered last week. The girls champion there, Melanie Oudin, has not only dominated the juniors, but she is really showing what she can do on the next level at this week's $50,000 event in Lawrenceville, Ga. near her hometown of Marietta.
Yesterday, Oudin, a wild card, took out the second seed, Jorgelina Cravero of Argentina, ranked 107th on the WTA tour's computers, and today she followed up that big win with another one (always a tough task for a junior), defeating Varvara Lepchenko, who is ranked 140. That would be impressive enough, but to beat both in straight sets (6-4, 6-4 yesterday; 6-2, 6-4 today) adds to the accomplishment. For complete draws, see the Pro Circuit section of usta.com.
As promised, here are the names of the boys who have been accepted into residency at the Boca Raton USTA National Training Center. I'm not going to publish anonymous comments on these selections. I am still hoping to obtain the list of girls there.

Carlos BermudezAnd finally, Bob Larson, whose tennisnews.com is a daily stop for me, has began another site focusing on junior tennis news. It's called, unsurprisingly, juniortennisnews.com. You'll recognize many of the stories (lots of links to zootennis and the Tennis Recruiting Network), but I found a couple I didn't know were out there, including this one on Shinann Featherston's college commitment.
