In total, five players for the Beach advanced to the second day in main draw competition.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Carlota Casasampere won two matches to reach the Round of 32 in singles, while two doubles pairs also advanced to the Round of 32 at the ITA Southwest Regionals Thursday in San Diego.
Emma Bardet and Lalita Devarakonda highlighted the opening day of doubles, grabbing an 8-7 win with a strong 7-2 tiebreaker performance to advance over Tiffany Legarde and Juliana Valero of UC Santa Barbara. Also advancing were Wiktoria Rutkowska and Sadaf Sadeghvaziri via walkover of a USC pair. In the round of 64, both Meyer/Munoz and Casasampere/Lennon were knocked out by scores of 8-4.
In singles, Carlota Casasampere was a double winner, dropping conference foe Sibel Demirbaga of CSUN 6-3, 6-3 in the round of 128 before outlasting Sophia Chow of the host Toreros 3-6, 6-1, 6-3.
Other winners in the round of 128 included Zara Lennon, a 6-1, 6-1 winner over Mathilde Lirzin of Grand Canyon as well as Natalia Munoz, a 6-0, 7-6 winner of Ludovica Infantino, also from the Antelopes. Rutkowska was a 7-5, 7-5 winner over Emma Roenholt, but those three fell in their Round of 64 matches, as did Dominique Meyer and Devarakonda after being paired up against seeded and ranked opponents. Meyer battled against Arizona State's Savannah Slaysman, falling 7-6, 6-4 in a good effort from the freshman.
Action continues Friday in San Diego, with Casasampere and the two doubles pairs continuing in the main draw while the remainder will have consolation draw matches.
