The first round of the USTA Winter National Championships is complete with just one major setback, in the 16-year-old boys. No. 2 seed and USTA Indoor champion Eli Kaminiski lost to Rafael Bote 7-6(1), 6-2. Bote, who lives in Boca Raton but competes under the Canadian flag on the ITF Junior Circuit, reached the quarterfinals of the IMG Academy International Championships earlier this month.
As I mentioned on Friday, Adelina Iftime, the IMG girls 16s champion, was unseeded. But in today’s first round, she defeated No. 11 seed Natalie Frisbie 6-3, 6-2.
All top 16 seeds in both the boys and girls 12s won their opening matches today.
Below is an update on the seeds after today’s first round. The full draws for the 16s and 18s in Orlando are here; for the 12s and 14s in San Antonio are the draws here.
