Meanwhile, Sara Choy lost her quarterfinal match at the St. Mary’s Invitational to Cal’s Maria Smith 6-2, 6-3. A disappointing result, though Smith is a senior and Cal’s #4 last year, so perhaps my expectations are a tad high for someone who won’t crack the lineup this year absent an injury. 

But Madurawe advanced, and will take on Anna Makarova of Wisconsin in tomorrow’s semifinal. If she wins and gets Smith in the final, it’ll be a nice early look at the pecking order between Choy and Madurawe

They lost in doubles, so it’s just Madurawe alive in that tournament. Her semifinal is at 10:30am tomorrow, and if she makes it, the final would be at 1:30pm.

Over at ITA All-Americans, Arbuthnott/Gordon will play at 10:30 for the consolation title, while Lampl/Yee’s match is to follow the singles championship, which starts at 11. 

Neither match will be easy. Arbuthnott/Gordon have arguably the harder match, as they get the #9 team in the country, Proctor/Kauffman from Winthrop.

Lampl/Yee’s opponents are unranked, but only because the Kansas duo they’re playing is a new pair. KU has the #11 doubles team, but they split them up, for this tournament at least. Doubles rankings at this point in the year are a weird mishmash of last year’s results and guesswork as to who the pairs will be this year. 

But five Stanford players in the mix for titles tomorrow of one sort or another. Not too shabby.
