Most of the California players.... Good Day...Bad Day... A little of both..

Ava had a battle in the semi final of the 12 and unders. She played fellow NorCal player, Andrea Picon Perez...The two challenged each other back and forth splitting the first two games, taking it to a tie breaker. They continued to go back and forth.

No tie breaker this time... Heather won 15-3 15-6 and will play in the final of the 16 and unders against Annie Roberts. A repeat of Nationals two years ago in the 14 and unders when Heather lost in a tie breaker. In the 14 and unders Heather face Kareena Mathew. This is the first time they have played in singles. They have been on the court in doubles a few times. We really did not have much
