While the US Open Junior Tennis Championships don't get underway until September 5th, we will be following the progress of college and junior players through the qualifying and the main draw. Keep checking back for updates.
September 6th-Rain delayed and postponed many matches yesterday, but the juniors still got to play quite a few. There were no suprises, the seeds all prevailed.
September 5th-The Junior Championships get underway today with challenging draws. Top seeds (and Australian Open Winners) Kristian Pless and Viginia Razzano will have plenty of competition from players like French Open winner Guillermo Coria and Wimbledon champion Iroda Tulyaganova. The Americans also have a strong presence. Mardy Fish is the top-ranked American on the ITF Junior Rankings and Laura Granville will have another opportunity in Flushing after her loss in the main draw.
September 4th-There are no more amateurs left in the main draw singles or doubles. Levar Harper-Griffith and Andy Roddick lost in the 2nd round to Marc Goelher and Francisco Montana, 6-3,6-1. The Junior Championships will start tomorrow.
September 3rd-The USTA Girls' 18 National Champion team of Tiffany Brymer and Abigail Spears failed to make it past the first round of the main draw doubles. They lost 6-1,6-2 to Liezel Horn and Kimberly Po. Vanessa Webb and partner Lindsay Lee put up a good fight before losing to No. 13 seeds Virginia Ruano-Pascual/Paola Suarez, 0-6,7-5,7-5.
September 2nd-Thanks to the USTA for providing an all-amateur match in its mens doubles draw. The USTA National Champion team of Levar Harper-Griffith and Andy Roddick were pitted against the NCAA Champion team of K.J. Hippensteel and Ryan Wolters of Stanford. In a match that you would think to be anyone's guess, the juniors easily prevailed, 6-2,6-2. The NCAA Women's Doubles Champions, Amanda Augustus and Amy Jensen of Cal-Berekely, didn't have much luck in their match either as they lost to Kveta Hrdlickova and Barbara Rittner, 6-3,6-3.
September 1st-Pete Sampras' withdrawal wasn't the only disappointment at the Open yesterday. None of the College and Junior players managed to make it past the first round. James Blake had a straight set loss to Chris Woodruff, 6-2,6-2,6-1 in the men's singles while Zuzana Lesenarova was overcome by Sandra Kloesel, 6-4,6-3 and Laura Granville was beaten by Fabiola Zuluaga, 6-1,6-2. Doubles play begins today.

USTA National Girls' 18 winner Laura Granville faces Fabiola Zuluaga of Columbia while NCAA champ Zuzana Lesenarova plays Sandra Kloesel of Germany.

On the men's side, Scott Eddins of TCU and Nathan Zeder of Illinois, who received wildcards with their win at the ITA National Summer Championships, lost to the No. 3 seeded team of Andrew Painter and Byron Talbot, 6-7(4),6-1,6-4. On the women's side, Stanford's team of Marissa Irvin & Julie Scott lost a tough one to the No. 7 team of Jana Kandarr and Samantha Reeves. Another very interesting collegiate match up was between ITA National Summer Championships winners Julie Ditty of Vanderbilt and Jennifer Embry of Purdue against Duke graduate Vanessa Webb and Lindsay Lee.
