Unseeded Madison Keys, the 13-year-old from Boca Raton, has reached the finals of the ITF Grade 1 Coffee Bowl in Costa Rica, and will face No. 3 seed Valeria Solovieva of Russia for the championship Saturday. Keys has been rolling through the draw, losing only one set in her first five matches and today she defeated No. 12 seed Ulrikke Eikeri of Norway 6-2, 6-2.
This evening, the Orange Bowl 16s finalists Denis Kudla and Mitchell Frank will meet in the semifinals, with the winner playing the survivor of the match between No. 7 seed David Souto of Venezuela and No. 5 seed Arthur De Greef of Belgium. Kudla is the top seed; Frank is unseeded.

In the quarterfinals of the ATP event in Chennai India, former Virginia Cavalier Somdev Devvarman, a wild card, posted his second consecutive upset, taking down No. 25 ranked Ivo Karlovic 7-6(4), 6-4. Unlike Moya, Devvarman's victim on Thursday, Karlovic didn't have much to say about Devvarman's game, but he certainly wasn't happy with the way he played. The Hindu takes particular pleasure in Devvarman's lob over the 6-foot-10 inch Karlovic in this account of the match.
The Tennis Recruiting Network has a story on Mallory Burdette's verbal commitment to Stanford. Given that her two older sisters selected the Cardinal, it's not a surprising choice, but an interesting read nonetheless.
