Girls Main Draw:

Ahn could not shake her nerves and managed to win only 25 of the 80 points played in the game. Mertens played well, with five aces and 16 winners, her pace and depth too much for the 18-year-old Stanford first-year student.

Blanch and Damm were tuned more evenly, but Damm hit 24 Azen, with his serve saved him from many heavy places. Blanch entered the competition with a better ATP ranking than Damm, 364 to 431, but Damm has several months and the end of last year and the start of this year missed due to an injury.

2023 San Diego 18s champion Clervie Ngounoue, a wildcard, recovered from a rough start to challenge no. 29 Seed Anna Kalinskaya from Russia, but eventually lost 6-0, 5-7, 6-4. ITF World No. 1 Junior Julieta Pareja had nine double mistakes in her 6-3, 6-0 loss for no. 9 Seed Elena Rybakina from Kazakhstan, while Rybakina, who never had a breaking point, had seven Azen.

Iva Jovic is the only American teenager who has so far absorbed a victory in the first round, with the 17-year-old Californian who comes through a difficult first set to beat Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus of 7-6 (6), 6-3. There was nothing to separate them in the first set, but Jovic kept her level in the second set, while the six Doubles errors of Sasnovich turned out to be expensive.

Jovic plays no. 7 Seed Jasmine Paolini of Italy in the second round; They played a memorable game in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells in March, with Paolini escaped with a 7-6 (3), 1-6, 6-3 victory.
