Dietrich reaches first Challenger quarter-final on home court; Drenser-Hagmann remains perfect with win in W15 in Sumter SC; Baris versus Kim in Harlingen; Friend documentary next Friday

If Jodar, seeded No. 7 this week, wins his second-round match against Georgia’s Saba Purtseladze on Thursday, he will face reammate Dietrich in the quarterfinals.

Former Virginia All-American Inaki Montes couldn’t match Dietrich’s performance, falling to San Diego senior Oliver Tarvet of Great Britain in a match that lasted more than three and a half hours. The third set alone lasted over 90 minutes, with Tarvet recording a 5-7, 76-4, 7-6(3) victory.

The other two players advancing to Friday’s quarterfinals are No. 6 seed Martin Damm, who defeated qualifier Keegan Smith (UCLA) 6-1, 7-5, and Daniil Glinka of Estonia, who defeated Patrick Zahraj (UCLA) of Germany 7-6 (4), 6-2.

Two other juniors, both of whom have gained entry through the ITF’s Junior Reserved program, will face off in a second-round match, with Georgia’s Ava Rodriguez taking on Florida’s Capucine Jauffret. Rodriguez defeated No. 3 Kira Matushkina of Russia 5-7, 7-6(5), 6-3, while Jauffret had beaten wildcard Sara Shumate 6-1, 6-1 on Tuesday.

Fifteen-year-old wildcard Janae Preston will face 31-year-old Elena-Teodora Cadar of Romania, the No. 8 seed, in the second round after beating wildcard Ciara Harding 6-3, 7-5. Clemson recruit Harper Stone also advanced to the second round, with the 16-year-old defeating fellow qualifier Sofia Maria Barbulescu of Romania 6-7 (3), 604, 7-6 (5) in a four-hour marathon. The other two Americans in the second round are former colleagues who passed qualifying: India Houghton (Stanford) will play Carson Tanguilig (North Carolina) for a place in the quarterfinals.

In the only all-US second round match, Michigan State senior Ozan Baris will face Ohio State junior Aidan Kim, the No. 7 seed, after Baris defeated qualifier Sebastian Dominko (Notre Dame) of Slovenia 7-5, 7-5 and Kim defeated Oklahoma sophomore Orel Kimhi of Israel 6-1, 6-1. Kim defeated Baris in the second round of the Wichita M25 last June 6-2, 6-4, but their meeting in Big Ten play in March went to Kim 6-3, 5-7, 7-6(4), with that result giving Ohio State a 4-3 victory.

The ITA will have a YouTube documentary next Friday featuring Arizona’s Jay Friend, this fall’s ITA All-American champion. Below is the trailer for the 34-minute behind-the-scenes coverage of Friend’s search for his first major.
