Ogden Criterium

The last road race of the season was a fast and furious one as Ben, Kevan and Joel lined up for the Mountain to Metro Criterium this past weekend. The short and fast course was set up on 25th, Washington, Grant and 26th streets in downtown Ogden. That race was part of a bigger festival so it was fun to race in front of a crowd. Our Cat 4 and 5 riders raced together in this one.

The pace was fast from the get go for the 40 minute race. Not long into it, many of the lapped riders dropped out and the group was whittled down from around 50 riders to 30. 2 riders broke away early and forced the peloton to chase for the duration. Kevan kept the heat on throughout while Ben battled to stick with the leaders. Joel suffered through some late race cramps. With such a short course, the corners were scary fast with numerous "almost" accidents. With 3 laps to go, Ben made his move but was swallowed up the last lap and finished with Joel towards the back. Kevan however motored to third place, his best finish of the year! Congrats to all 3 riders for representing TE well.

This has been an awesome first year. TE has posted 22 top 10 finishes, 11 podiums and 4 wins. Not bad for an inaugural season. Thanks to all who have participated and keep in shape this winter. We will be making some announcements in the next few weeks about sponsors and some ideas for next year.
We still have one racer not done yet though. Targhee will be racing cyclocross this fall and we'll keep tabs on him.

Intermountain Section Better; Seeding Worse--Scott Gerber's Latest Analysis

A couple of weeks ago I posted Scott Gerber's short history of the points per round system the USTA uses for junior ranking, along with a link to his overview on high school tennis restrictions in the Midwest section. He's since passed along his latest study, the third he's completed, on what sections are the strongest, using points per player in the August USTA national championships as the measuring stick. To no one's surprise, I'm sure, Florida and Southern California top the list, but in third place this year is Intermountain, a section that has gained each of the three years Gerber has been crunching the numbers.

The entire study, complete with easy-to-follow graphs and breakdowns by gender and state can be downloaded at tennisfax.com. If you want to know who "The Big Six" are, what other section has, like Intermountain, gained in his measurement three years running, what sections are easiest to earn national points in, the poor performance of seeds this year, it's all in his report.

I will include portions of the summary from his national report (there is also a 2008 Midwest Closed report included in the complete document), in the hope it will encourage you to dig a little deeper.

• Florida and Southern California dominate junior tennis. The Midwest and Southern are close. It’s too early to tell if Intermountain is a one year wonder by blasting into third place but they have had three great years of improving performance. When seeing the success that Las Vegas is having, could Agassi be playing a role in these improvements, especially with the B12’s and B14’s?

• Seeding was good and now it is bad. Are parents and players getting more adept at gaming the points system?

• More tweaks necessary for a system that needs to be overhauled. It is easier and less expensive to acquire National Points if you live in smaller Sections (in terms of population and geographic area)....

• The Level 5 tournaments are the “meat and potato” tournaments that more (but not all) kids in the larger Sections can use to acquire national points. The larger Sections simply need more of these Level 5 tournaments.

• I saw a recent survey that questioned whether National Points should play a larger role in selecting participants in the National Championships. Based on this analysis, that is not a good idea for the largest Sections. (I don’t know how the politics of the USTA works but I would hope that it is more like a House of Representatives where Sections with the largest membership numbers receivefar more “votes” than the smaller Sections.)

• To end on a good note, congratulations and thanks to the Midwest for making its national Level 5 tournaments “Feed-In-Consolation” tournaments last year. This not only gave the kids more great, competitive matches, but it also gave them more National points.

College Roundup, Tennis Recruiting Network Ratings Released

While much of the focus over the weekend was on the Junior Davis Cup and Junior Fed Cup, there was a lot of college tennis played at various sites from coast to coast. The most important competition was the pre-qualifying for the ITA Riviera All-American, the womens' first major of the season. It was a draw of 64, with eight players advancing to Tuesday's first round of qualifying, and among those eight are two freshmen, Nadja Gilchrist of Georgia and Kristi Boxx of Ole Miss. Three more victories are necessary to advance to the main draw of 32, which begins Thursday and ends on Sunday. For complete pre-qualifying and qualifying draws, see the ITA website.

In some of the fall invitationals that took place over the weekend, sophomore Kelcy McKenna of Arizona State won the Cal-Nike gold flight, and Clemson junior Ani Mijacika repeated as flight champion at Furman. On the men's side, Duke sophomore Reid Carleton and Virginia sophomore Sanam Singh captured the A-1 and A-2 flights in Charlottesville and in Waco, preseason No. 1 Oleksandr Nedovyesov of Oklahoma State lived up to his billing, winning the HEB Baylor Invitational. It was a strong field, featuring the preseason's number 1, 2 and 6 ranked players. Nedovyesov defeated Tulsa senior Arnau Brugues (preseason 6) in the final; Brugues had beaten No. 2 Denes Lukacs of Baylor in the semifinals. For complete draws, see the TennisLink site.

The Tennis Recruiting Network has released their annual rankings of Blue Chip, 5-Star, 4-Star, etc., players for each high school class from 2009 on down. It's one of their biggest traffic weeks of the year, when players, coaches and parents check on the designations for the current school year.

U.S. Sweeps Junior Davis Cup and Junior Fed Cup Titles

The United States made world junior team competition history today, when the 16-and-under boys and girls captured the Junior Davis Cup and Junior Fed Cup titles in Mexico. The 14-and-under teams won their competition last month in the Czech Republic, giving the older players an opportunity to do what no other country had ever done--win all four in the same year.

Although faced with less than ideal weather, the hard courts and the altitude in San Luis Potosi may have helped the American teams. Arriving a week early to get acclimated, the U.S. brought strong teams, and the girls were given the No. 1 seed and the boys were pegged at No. 3.

Throughout the week, both teams dominated, not once losing a match or facing a must-win doubles contest. That continued today, with the boys defeating No. 5 seed Argentina 2-0 and the girls beating No. 4 seeded Great Britain 2-0.

Evan King started with a three-set win over Andrea Collarini at No. 2 singles, and Denis Kudla gave the U.S. boys their first Junior Davis Cup win since 1999 with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Agustin Velotti at No. 1. The doubles was not played.

The girls second match, after Christina McHale had routinely accounted for Heather Watson 6-2, 6-2 at No. 2 singles, contained all the drama. Kristie Ahn saved a match point with Tara Moore serving at 5-3 in the third, and went on to win four straight games to earn the U.S. its first-ever Junior Fed Cup title.

Eleanor Preston talked to Ahn, and to captains David Roditi and Roger Smith and to the third players on the U.S. teams, Sloane Stephens and Raymond Sarmiento, at the ITF Junior website. The celebration photos by Susan Mullane are also filled with the excitement of the moment.

It is also an appropriate time to recognize those on the North American qualifying teams that were not selected for the finals--Jordan Cox and Brooke Bolender and Beatrice Capra. As Roditi told Preston, "They know that it’s a big deal to be here representing their country because they are part of a very good class from the USA. We could have picked three other guys, five other guys to come and play and they know that they were selected from a very deep group of US players."

The same holds true for the girls, who only beat out Canada for the lone North American qualifying spot when Bolender and Capra fought back to take an extremely close doubles match, sealing the win.

Mommy Makeover #1

Welcome to the
First Ever
Missy's Mommy Makeover!


You may be asking, "Why a makeover, Missy?"

Good question.

I have always, always loved makeovers! Even in Seventeen magazine I would immediately flip to the 'before and after' section to see what color eye shadow could transform some plain girl into a beauty. Please note: I will not be incorporating any of the techniques that I learned in the February 1986 volume of Seventeen in any of the makeovers.

My favorite part of Breakfast Club is when homecoming queen Molly Ringwald gives loser girl Ally Sheedy a makeover. I always wanted Molly to do a little more to her hair!

My favorite current cable show is What Not to Wear. I love Stacy and Clinton--they are always right. My dream is to be on that show as a host. Don't think that I haven't often thought of many friends that I would nominate to be on that show! Alas, I will do my own makeovers and post them on my blog. Unfortunately, without the $5000 budget.

Anyway, I enjoy doing hair and makeup. I especially like the transformation of an entire makeover--hair, makeup, and outfit. But what is most important is what we believe about ourselves. That we (you) are beautiful because God made you unique and wonderful--He did not mess up! I believe that! This is just fun stuff. Updating ourselves. Getting out of the Mommy rut of yoga clothes, t-shirts, and pony tails. Learning how to highlight our best features. Dressing well for our figure. Taking time for our self that will honor our husbands and children. Did I mention having fun?

Let's begin!

My first Mommy Makeover guinea pig--I mean client-- is Nancy Pigeon. Nancy is married to Larry and has a daughter Gracie that is in school with Lainey. We met because the girls were in ballet and preschool together for the last couple of years. Nancy brought Lainey home from ballet every Wednesday last year! Thank you Nancy!

We were able to get to know each other more over the summer because she became my mentor/coach for the Triathlon that I completed 2 weeks ago. She found a bike for me to use. She actually taught me how to ride it--how to shift gears and brake!! Riding a road bike is not like "riding a bike." I needed a lot of help. She talked to me about everything. I am incredibly grateful for all of her encouragement this summer.

Nancy is a physical therapist and personal Pilate's instructor. The girl is fit. She looks fabulous. I just wanted to update her look a little. She had a good amount of gray hair that could easily be covered. She needs more volume and lift--that means some of the length needs to go!


Here is Nancy. Before.
Sad Nancy.


Nancy has great skin and hair that has natural body and volume. We just need to tap into some of those things.

Let me tell you that Nancy was a great sport! She was up for everything! She was ideal for a makeover. She was ready for a change. She handled all of my "honest" comments with humor and a great attitude. Thanks Nancy for still being my friend after this!


Nancy gets the initial chop! They took about 6 or 7 inches off total. She went to Artistik Edge in LH to get her hair cut and colored. Here is Shelly with her discarded hair!



After going to the salon all morning, she came over to my house for a makeup application. (see below the tragedy of her makeup collection!) They did a great job of her hair. She can wear it naturally wavy, straight or somewhere in between! Much more versatile than before.


After!
Happy Nancy!


Nancy has beautiful green eyes. She has great eyebrows and lids that are perfect for shadow. I applied tinted moisturizer--a great option for those of you who don't wear foundation and don't like the feel of makeup on your face. It gives you light coverage and an all-over smooth look. I highly recommend it.

Every woman needs an eye lash curler. It will change your life. This is the biggest thing Nancy needs to add to her makeup routine. I recommend this one!



Side view of the hair! Cute and sassy!



I also recommend using a large round brush for drying. Of course, products are important as well. I put velcro rollers in her hair for some volume and lift--they also smooth out the wavy hair. They are cheap and easy to use. No clips or pins necessary. You can get them at Ulta usually.

We headed to the mall to find a few pieces of clothing to work on building up an updated and fun wardrobe. Nancy needs clothes for work (dressy casual), church and fun! Ann Taylor Loft is a good place to start. It fits her figure well, reasonably priced and age appropriate! However, the lighting and cell coverage stink inside ATL. Oh well.

Nancy got this great little camel colored corduroy jacket. It fits her well. A structured jacket is a must have for your closet. She got a petite so all the proportions fit well. It can be dressed up a little but also great for picking up Gracie from school and running errands.


She loved this dressy casual outfit. The fun black ruffled shirt goes great with the pin-striped pants but will look cute with jeans and a fun belt and/or shoes! Shoe shopping and a closet clean out will be next!


Now for some fun! Here are some crude iPhone pictures of Nancy's jeans that I found in her closet. The pictures don't do them justice. They are a crime against fashion. The pair on the left: MUDD jeans from who knows when, way to light denim, unflattering whiskering at the crotch area, made of 99% Lycra--they are tight. They are her husband's favorites. The pair on the right: Tommy Hilfiger high waisted, slightly tapered but incredibly on sale jeans. Lesson here: Just because they are cheap (on sale) don't buy them unless the fit is good and the cut is current.




















On the left you will see Nancy's pitiful makeup selection. The pieces you see are Beauticontrol from 7 years ago or dollar store makeup! Nancy, Nancy, Nancy!

She said she uses the small little eyeliner when she is feeling brave--there is always a chance for retinal damage caused by a splinter from this decade old pencil!

We are heading to either Ulta or Target to replenish her makeup asap!

Thank you Nancy. I had a great time. Thanks for letting me laugh at your jeans, for telling you that I thought you could use a makeover, and for trusting me with things that are most important to women. You are an amazing woman and Mommy!

U.S. Goes For History Sunday in Mexico; Lipman and Fuller Win in Atlanta

The Junior Fed Cup and Junior Davis Cup titles are just one win away for the U.S. teams, with both sailing into Sunday's final on the basis of 3-0 sweeps again today. Neither U.S. team has surrendered a point in four matches at the San Luis Potosi competition, with the doubles rendered meaningless on all eight occasions.

In today's action, Christina McHale, playing No. 2 singles, downed Zsofia Susanyi of Hungary 6-2, 6-0 and at No. 1 singles, Kristie Ahn took out Timea Babos 6-2, 0-6, 6-2 to give the No. 1 seeds the victory over No. 5 seeded Hungary. McHale and Sloane Stephens won the doubles for good measure, 7-5, 6-3.

The No. 3 seeded U.S. boys faced No. 2 seeds India, and after Evan King had given his team a 1-0 lead with a routine 6-2, 6-0 decision over Saurabh Singh at No. 2 singles, the tension rose for the Yuki Bhambri - Denis Kudla match at No. 1. Kudla had lost a tough three-setter to Bhambri in the first round of the U.S. Open junior championships, but he reversed that result today, overcoming a 3-0 deficit in the final set to post a 6-4, 6-7(6), 6-4 victory over the ITF's 18th-ranked junior player. King and Sarmiento took the final point with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 win in doubles.

In the finals, the U.S. girls will meet Great Britain, the fourth seeds, who took out eighth-seeded Belarus 2-1. Tara Moore is playing No. 1 and Heather Watson No. 2, and neither has lost a singles match this week. In the 14-and-under ITF World Junior Championships last month, the U.S. girls defeated Great Britain 2-1, even with Wimbledon champion Laura Robson (who lost in three sets today in the semifinals in the $75K event in England) representing the Union Jack. For more on Great Britain's semifinal win, see the LTA website.

The U.S. boys will face Argentina, the fifth seeds, who surprised the No. 1 seeded Russian team today 2-1. Although Australia captured three of the four ITF team junior titles last year (both 16s, and the boys 14s), no country has ever won all four in the same year.

For more coverage, including some outstanding photos of the U.S. players by Susan Mullane, see the ITF Junior website.

The ITF Grade 4 in Atlanta was completed today, with Ryan Lipman and Kate Fuller taking the singles titles. Fuller teamed with fellow Atlanta-area resident Grace Min for the doubles championship. On Friday, Dan McCall and Nathan Pasha earned the boys doubles title. For complete results, see the TennisLink site.

U.S. Jr. Fed Cup and Davis Cup Teams Reach Semifinals; Robson Wins Again

Both U.S. 16-and-under teams reached the semifinals of the Junior Fed Cup and Junior Davis Cup competition in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Neither team has dropped a point, winning all three ties by 3-0 scores, including Friday's ties against seeded teams.

Christina McHale gave the top-seeded U.S. girls a 1-0 lead with a 6-1, 6-4 decision over Doroteja Eric of Serbia and Kristie Ahn moved them past the No. 7 seeds with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Aleksandra Krunic. McHale and Sloane Stephens made quick work of Eric and Jovana Jaksic 6-0, 6-1 in the dead rubber doubles match.

Evan King gave the U.S. boys, seeded third, their first point with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 win over Tobias Blomgren of Sweden, who were seeded sixth. Denis Kudla played what coach David Roditi described as a "near-perfect" match, quickly dispatching Sweden's No. 1 player Daniel Berta 6-1 6-3. King and Raymond Sarmiento completed the sweep with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 win over Berta and Blomgren in doubles.

The girls semifinal opponent is Hungary, the No. 5 seeds. Former Cal star Susie Babos's younger sister Timea is a member of that team. The U.S. boys meet No. 2 seeded India, which boasts the competition's highest-ranked player in the ITF junior standings, Yuki Bhambri, at No. 18. In the other Junior Davis Cup semifinal, No. 1 Russia meets No. 5 Argentina. The other Junior Fed Cup opponents are No. 4 Great Britain and No. 8 Belarus.

For more details and full results, see the ITF Junior website.

Laura Robson continues to impress, defeating tour veteran Tzipi Obziler 6-3, 6-3 to advance to the semifinals of the $75,000 event in Shrewsbury. Up next for the 14-year-old Wimbledon girls champion is No. 2 seed Maret Ani of Estonia. Nigel Sears of the LTA comments extensively on her progress and her game in this story from the Daily Mail.

Zsilinszka's Vietnam Photo Album; Rain In Mexico; Robson Defeats Radwanska in 75K Event

My weekly story for The Tennis Recruiting Network really isn't a story at all, but nine photos with captions that are the work of Reka Zsilinszka, now a sophomore at Duke. She wrote a diary during her trip to Vietnam this summer for the Coach for College initiative, and excerpts from that diary will appear in the next issue of SMASH, due out in November. It's been a real treat to talk with Reka about her experience there and it sounds as if the adventure was all she had hoped for. ESPN.com did a story about Parker Goyer and Coach For College in July; it is truly amazing what she has been able to accomplish. Making a vision a reality is never easy, but Goyer is an inspiration to anyone who has a dream to make the world a better place.

The persistent rain in Mexico has hindered the Junior Davis and Fed Cups being played there. Today, neither the U.S. boys or girls took the court (against Sweden and Serbia respectively) for the matches that will determine the semifinalists. Both the U.S. teams are 2-0 and must win to advance to the semifinals.


The campaign to keep 14-year-old Wimbledon junior champion Laura Robson out of the spotlight while she and her game mature lasted all of two months. She played her first ITF Women's Circuit event last week, a $10,000 event in France, qualified and won her first match before retiring in her second one. This week she is back home in England, received a wild card into the $75,000 tournament in Shrewsbury and beat Great Britain's No. 8, 29-year-old Sarah Borwell in the first round, who was very impressed. Today, the current girls Wimbledon champion battled the previous one, Urszula Radwanska of Poland, with Robson taking a 6-3, 6-3 decision over the WTA's 128th-ranked player. The Telegraph published this account, which focuses on the unlikely scenario of Radwanska feeling old at 17. Neil Harman of the Times contrasts Robson with Jennifer Capriati, who made a very much bigger splash at an even younger age, in this article, which will appear in Friday's print edition.

Just one of those days!

Don't let the silly, funny faces below fool you. Around 4:30 this afternoon, none of these happy faces could be found anywhere near my children. We went to my mom's to see the granite counter tops (they look awesome by the way).

We brought sprite's from sonic--fatal mistake number 1. We then went outside to play on the playground. All the mosquitoes in the entire LH community were hanging out there as well. I literally killed 4 of them on my legs within 2 minutes. Blood smears and all.

I am not sure exactly what happened next. Someone drank someone else's Sprite. Clearly an unforgivable offense. But I left the house with 3 screaming kids. Bo quit pretty quickly and then just starting repeating, "Roddy crying, Roddy crying, Roddy crying!" Good times in the mini-van.

I am not sure what fatal mistake number 2 might be. But I thought you might be wondering about it as well.


All pictures taken with my iPhone.
I just got my Dad's old one.
I love it, but still don't know how to work it very well.

I haven't blogged in a while. I am slacking so bad. I just don't have a lot of interesting things to blog about. I get up, get the kids ready and in the car (a feat in and of itself), eat a lunch, play, clean up, naps, pick up lainey, deal with fussy kids, try to get dinner ready, answer 1001 questions (mainly from Rhody), use my new iPhone, deal with fussy kids, etc. You get my point.

However, I am really excited about an upcoming blog feature. The first-ever Mommy Makeover! A wonderful mommy, Nancy Pigeon, agreed to be my first guinea pig. We are completing the makeover tomorrow. I will post pictures asap! I have another mommy in mind for the next one! You could be next!

Glad to be back. If you have a kindergartner, you have to go read Big Mama from today.

Coaches Q and A: Should I Scout My Upcoming Opponent at Tournaments?

In this month's installment of Coaches Q and A, Andy Brandi of the Harold Solomon Tennis Institute in Fort Lauderdale, Florida answers this question:
At a tournament, should I scout my opponents or concentrate on playing my game?

This is a very important question. How many times when playing a tournament do you ask a friend if they know your opponent? If the answer is always, "I played them and won and you should not have any problems", you might go into the match overconfident and what happens--you lose!!

When I used to travel with professionals full time, I had a book with players and their tendencies. I would update it every four weeks to keep it up to speed. I would also have the player I was traveling with keep a book with their thoughts about each match and opponent. We would compare the opponents' favorite shots and their placement, serving tendencies, movement, fitness level, mental toughness and what we felt worked the last time they played.

By doing this, we could compare notes and make an accurate strategic plan. There were no guesses. We had a good plan to win the match!

Whenever you do not have the chance to scout your opponent, there are other options. During the match warm-up, see which side they like to take the ball when you hit down the middle. Offer volleys and overheads. See where they like to hit their serves.
Once the match starts, take the first two games to figure out your strategy. Keep in mind that you should make continuous adjustments to your strategy during the entire match.

But if you can, my preference is to scout opponents during a tournament. You do not have to watch the whole match. Watch two or three games and make notes on both players. This way you have a head start and a game plan.

By planning ahead, you give yourself the best chance to succeed. Best of luck.


Do you have a question for Andy or Harold? If so, please send it to clewis[at]zootennis[dot]com with the phrase Coaches Q and A in the subject line.

Junior Davis and Junior Fed Cup Underway in Mexico; One-Day Showdowns on College Campuses; Kristi Miller Blogs from Madrid

I was hoping to have some results to report from the Junior Fed and Davis Cups in Mexico, but nothing has come through from the ITF yet. When it was held in Italy, the results were always available in the evening here, but San Luis Potosi, Mexico is in the Central time zone, so it may be the next day before results are posted.

The U.S. girls are the top seeds, the U.S. boys are seeded third, and the format is round robin, four groups of four, with the winners advancing to the semifinals.

The Tennis Recruiting Network posted an announcement today about a new concept of One-Day Showdowns at college campuses around the country. This is an opportunity for juniors to join college players and other adults in competition on campus, with college coaches serving as the tournament directors. Sponsored by the USTA and ITA, it is structured for maximum participation, with very low entry fees. For more information, see the usta.com website.



Georgia Tech graduate Kristi Miller is out on the Futures Circuit now, and has been competing in Spain recently. She has won two doubles titles this summer, and is blogging about her experiences in Europe for Georgia Tech's website. Click here to read about her time in Madrid.

ETS's Olivares Wins Southern Intercollegiate Title; Illinois Wants to Win with Americans; USTA Board Nominations Announced

The Southern Intercollegiate, held in Athens, Ga., is a very prestigious title, and for the first time since 2004, it wasn't a University of Georgia Bulldog who captured the trophy, but rather Enrique Olivares of East Tennessee State. In 2005 and 2006, John Isner won it; last year it was Nate Schnugg, but although the 2008 NCAA MOP was in the field again this year and seeded No. 1, he fell in the quarterfinals to Reid Carleton of Duke. Georgia's Jamie Hunt and Javier Garrapiz also lost in the quarterfinals. For the full account of Olivares's win over Kentucky's Bruno Agostinelli, click here. Olivares is from Venezuela, as are both ETSU coaches, and the 11-man roster has nine different countries represented.

At the University of Illinois, the foreign players on both the men's and women's teams are in the minority, in fact each has only one on the current roster, and IlliniHQ.com thought that was interesting given that tennis has the highest percentage of foreign athletes among the NCAA Division 1 sports. This story is the result. Head coach Brad Dancer is quoted as saying:
"It's very simple. We recruit only domestically because we really believe in our system of player development. We feel it's a winning philosophy. I do think what we're doing is the right thing."

Women's head coach Michelle Dasso's program isn't at the same stage as Dancer's, but she hopes to follow the same philosophy.

"I want to build a winning program," Dasso said. "If I'm not getting quality players, down the road I wouldn't be against one or two international players. But I'm not going to look to saturate the program."

It's a complicated issue, the preponderance of foreign tennis players on U.S. college teams, and no one at Illinois is looking for protection from those who don't share their philosophy of developing U.S. players. If they continue to have success, maybe they will convert some of those who look overseas first.

The USTA Board nominations were announced today. Lucy Garvin will lead the board as Chairman and President beginning in January.

Frilling Wins Gator Fall Classic; Dimitrov Wins Second Futures Since US Open Jrs., USTA Urges Voting for Krueger

There are always several freshmen that burst onto the scene in women's college tennis during the fall, and this year Kristy Frilling of Notre Dame is one of several filling that role. The Sidney Ohio left-hander won the Gator Fall Classic in Gainesville, Fla., beating University of Florida's Marit Boonstra and Anastasia Revzina in the semifinals and finals today, and teaming with Kelcy Tefft to take the doubles title as well. Unfortunately, Frilling isn't competing in the Riveria All-American, according to the ITA selection site, but perhaps she'll get an ITA wild card into the Indoor tournament at Virginia in November. Florida's website has an account of Frilling's win here.

Another freshman having a great fall is Georgia's Chelsey Gullickson, who beat NCAA champion Amanda McDowell 6-3, 6-3 today at the Georgia Tech Invitational. Gullickson will be at the Riveria All-American; she received a wild card into qualifying which starts next Tuesday.

Wimbledon and U.S. Open boys champion Grigor Dimitrov decided not to rest after his victory in New York and has won both the $15,000 ITF men's events he's played since then, both in Spain. He defeated former Duke star Ludovic Walter of France 6-4 6-4 today, according to this story from the Sofia news agency.

And finally, Sally Milano at usta.com has the story on how Mitchell Krueger came to be nominated for the Sports Illustrated Sports Kid of the Year. Although Krueger has been in Spain, perhaps in conjunction with an exchange centered around the Davis Cup tie, he is not on the Junior Davis Cup team. That competition begins in Mexico on Tuesday, with Evan King, Denis Kudla, and Raymond Sarmiento representing the U.S. The Junior Fed Cup U.S. team is Krisite Ahn, Christina McHale and Sloane Stephens. The ITF preview of the competition is here.

News on Niu, Yurovsky; Brasseaux, Sardinha Win at Illinois ITF

Two of the top 14-year-old girls in the country, Ronit Yurovsky and Belinda Niu, were profiled in their local papers recently, in the context of high school tennis, of course.

Niu, from Portland, is apparently joining the USTA High Performance Training Center in Boca Raton, although this article says that she is going to the Evert Academy, which I think is just confusion on the part of the Portland Tribune reporter. Niu won the Oregon high school state championship 6-0, 6-0 as a freshman last spring, so it's understandable that she would leave that level of competition behind. The 16s clay court champion is ranked seventh in the USTA 16s rankings and also is seventh in the Tennis Recruiting Network's 2011 class.

Yurovsky, from the Pittsburgh area, is playing high school tennis in her freshman year this fall, according to this profile in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Yurovsky is currently ranked fifth in the USTA 14s rankings, and tenth in the class of 2012 by the Tennis Recruiting Network.

Saturday in Champaign, the ITF Grade 4 was concluded, with Garrett Brasseaux defeating Christian Harrison in three sets to win the boys title, and CC Sardinha downing Michaela Boev of Belgium, also in three sets. For complete results, visit the TennisLink site.

She began her career at the age of 7 when she auditioned for a role in a child singing group. The group was made up of her, Latavia Roberson, Beyonce's cousin, Kelly Rowland and LeToya Luckett. Her musical influences include, The Supremes, Jackson 5. She and the other members of her group started off small, doing local events but got their break when performing on Star Search. Their young energy and sound was a revelation for Hip Hop/ R&B music during the 90's. Soon after that Destiny's Child got it's formal name and started doing bigger gigs and were the opening act for other groups like SWV, Dru Hill and Immature. They released their self titled album in 1998 and Beyonce was the cornerstone in the group. Working out most of the lyrics and sound for the new group. She was the dominent lead singer in the group and no one could dispute.

Beyonce was responsible for most of the lyrics for hit songs, NO, NO, NO, BILLS, BILLS, BILLs and many of their other top 10 hits. In March of 2000 LeToya and Latavia left Destiny's Child because Beyonce and Matthew Knowles were causing them distress and not giving them the freedom to develop as artists on their own and contribute. Two replacements, Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin were hired to take their place and keep the band going. Beyonce got her first big film break in the Austin Powers: In Goldmember. Besides that her recent song, Survivor with Destiny's Child has cemented her superstardom. She will most likely be appearing in other Hollywood productions and will continue to perform her music.

The sexy first single, "Crazy In Love," featuring Jay-Z, was co-produced by Beyonce and Rich Harrison. Jay-Z returns the favor for Beyonce's part on his hit "Bonnie and Clyde 03." Laced with an Arabic ambience, fused with a ghetto-fied edge and encompassing a sample from Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby," "Naughty Girl" is uptempo and party perfect. Also sexy is the dancehall-Arabic flavored "Baby Boy," featuring the red hot Sean Paul. She co-stars with Cuba Gooding Jr. in "The Fighting Temptations." She has two more features currently in production and can also be seen on the small screen in a series of Spike Lee-directed commercials for Pepsi-Cola. She is also the spokesperson for L'Oreal.
