Evert Tennis Academy Students Had a Successful Tournament Weekend
Evert Tennis Academy Students competed this weekend in two local USTA Florida Tournaments in Delray Beach (Hustle, Hit & Never Quit Level 7 – 12s & 14s) and Boca Raton (Fall Classic Level 7 Jr Championship – 16s & 18s). After a great weather on Saturday and Sunday, Monday afternoon was filled with heavy rains which postponed the finals of the Hustle, Hit & Never Quit Level 7 and Fall Classic Level 7 Jr Championship pushing the finals to Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, while Tuesday morning held great promise for sunny weather in, storms developed forcing the Finals of the tournaments to be cancelled.
Nevertheless, the overall performance of Evert Tennis Academy Students was successful. A few of them were able to finish their tournaments before the rain hit. In the Boys’ 14s Singles Division, Mattias Selde won the Consolation Draw, while Tristan Wang made it to the finals of the Boys’ 14s Singles Main Draw. Meanwhile, Tess Heber captured the Girls’ 12s Main Draw trophy and Yinuo Zhou worked her way through the draw to the Girls’ 14s Singles Main Draw!”
Senior Justin Bloss and Sophomore Hunter Heck competed in the Boys’ 18s Singles Main Draw, with Bloss defeating Heck 6-3, 6-1. Theodora Francu won the trophy in the Girls’ 18s Singles Consolation Draw. Other finalists this weekend in Boca Raton were Danila Borovykh in the boys’ 16s Main Draw, Mark Slavkin in the Boys’ 16s Consolation Draw, Mark Slavkin in the Boys’ 18s Consolation Draw, Anastasia Balyk in the Girls’ 16s Main Draw and Jessica Xu in the Girls’ 16s Consolation Draw.
