Women's AA Wraps Up Qualies - Main Draw Begins Thursday

Players from the Power 5 conferences claimed 7 of the 8 qualifying spots in California with Pepperdine's Mayar Sherif Ahmed being the lone exception. UCLA freshman Ena Shibahara was the only player from the pre-qualifying draw to make it all the way to the main draw after the Bruin won all six matches in straight sets.

Men's AA Qualies Wrap Up While the Women Start Back Up

The men's pre-qualifying and qualifying rounds in Tulsa have come to a close as the 16 qualifiers will get a day off before the main draw begins on Thursday.

South Florida junior Peter Bertran, Texas freshman Christian Sigsgaard, and Columbia freshman Alex Keyser each qualified for the main draw after starting play back on Saturday in pre-qualies. Four freshman qualified for the main draw, three schools had multiple qualifiers, and 11 of the 16 qualifiers came from schools in Power 5 conference.

Women's All-America Qualifying Draw with UTRs

The women are taking the day off in California but play will resume on Tuesday with the start of the Riviera/ITA All-American qualifying draw. I've got the qualifying draw broken down by Universal Tennis Rating, seed, and school and it's interesting to note that none of the top eight seeds have a top eight UTR. There actually isn't a huge difference in UTR level between the pre-qualifying draw and qualifying draw due to the pre-qualifying draw being restricted to 64 (unlike the men's open pre-q draw).
