TIDBITS OF INTEREST (written before the event):

• In Mixed Doubles (Friday), a few of the likely favorites are Andrea Koop & Jay Devilliers, Michelle Esquivel & Rob Nunnery, Lauren Stratman & Dylan Frazier, Susannah Barr & Zane Navratil, Sarah Ansboury & Rafa Hewett, and Katie Dyer & Altaf Merchant. But pay close attention to these youngsters: Alix Truong (16) & William Sobek (17).
• In Men's Pro Doubles (Saturday), I believe this is a first time pairing for Jay Devilliers & Adam Stone. (Where's Pat? Where's Dekel? Not sure.) Several other likely favorites include Zane Navratil & Altaf Merchant, Rob Cassidy & Rob Nunnery, Rosti & William Sobek (father-son team). Noticabley absent: Jw Johnson. He's been on fire lately, so he'll be missed.
• In Women's Pro Doubles (also Saturday), a few of the likely favorites are Lauren Stratman & Susannah Barr, Michelle Esquivel & Sarah Ansboury, Andrea Koop & Corrine Carr, Kasandra Gehrke & Katie Dyer, and the sisters Jackie & Jade Kawamoto.
• In Men's Pro Singles (Sunday), the draw is deep once again at 34 players! A few of the favorites include Jay Devilliers, Zane Navratil, Dylan Frazier, Frank Anthony Davis, John Cincola, Rafa Hewett, and Rob Cassidy.
• In Women's Pro Singles (also Sunday), the draw is not quite as deep with 6 players competing. Includes the likely favorites Lauren Stratman and Jade Kawamoto. But don't count out the youngster, Alix Truong.
