Six Americans reach third round at Australian Open; Guto Migel, Sun claim ITF J300 Traralgon titles; Five American girls advance to the quarterfinals of the ITF J300 Coffee Bowl; Virginia Men moves to #2 in the latest DI Poll

Jovic defeated Australian wildcard Priscilla Hon 6-1, 6-2 to win the last six games of the late night match to advance to a third meeting with Italy’s Jasmine Paolini. Although Jovic’s professional career was short, she has suffered losses to Paolini in the second round at Indian Wells and in the second round of the US Open in 2025.

Columbia senior Michael Zheng suffered an injury in his second-round match against France’s Corentin Moutet and retired in the fourth set.

Guto Miguel, whose brother Luis Felipe Miguel is a senior at Florida State, defeated No. 8 seed Kuan-Shou Chen of Taiwan 6-1, 6-2. The only set he lost in his six victories came in the third round against Yannik Alvarez. Given Guto Miguel’s semi-final performance at the US Open Junior Championships last fall, the 16-year-old has established himself as the favorite for an Australian Open Junior title, in singles and/or doubles. He and Ziga Sesko of Slovenia, the No. 2 seeds, defeated Chen and Flynn Thomas of Switzerland, the No. 3 seeds. 6-0, 6-4 in the Traralgon doubles final.

Sun, the Orange Bowl champion, has not lost a set in her 12-match winning streak over the past two months. The 15-year-old defeated No. 2 Ksenia Efremova of France 6-1, 6-3 to clinch her second J300 title and establish herself as favorite in the Australian Open Junior Championships.

The girls’ doubles title went to the unseeded Russian team of Rada Zolotarea and Mariia Makarov, who defeated No. 8 seed Renee Alame of Australia and Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi of India 6-1, 6-4 in the final.

The other American girls advancing to the quarterfinals are No. 4 seed Janae Preston, who will play unseeded Ofir Manhard of Israel, unseeded Sarah Ye, who will play No. 7 seed Klara Blazkova of the Czech Republic, and No. 2 seed Maggie Sohns, who will face unseeded Katerina Zajickova of the Czech Republic.

The only American boy to reach the quarterfinals so far is unseeded Agassi Rusher, who defeated Marko Bekeni of Slovakia 6-4, 7-6(5) today. Qualifier Daniel Malacek, who defeated No. 2 seed Benjamin Azar of Canada in the first round, Zavier Augustin and No. 6 seed Marcel Latak are the American boys who will play their second-round matches later today.

The second ITA Division I coach polls of the 2026 season were released today, and while there were no changes to the women’s Top 10, the men’s Top 10 was a different story, with Virginia rising from No. 5 to No. 2 after the Cavaliers swept TCU and Texas last week.

Again, these polls do not influence the computer rankings that will appear once more matches have been played, but are merely a look at the opinions of the 13 members of the ITA ranking committees. Click on the headings to view the full list of ranked teams.
