Here's today's schedule:
10:30am: Shin vs. Cappuro (OU) (singles consolation)
1:00pm: [14] Gordon vs. Giavara (Cal)
4:30pm: Arbuthnott/Blake vs. [2] Gong/Martinelli (Yale) (doubles consolation)
Overall, the Pac-12 had a good day, even if Stanford's wasn't so good. Of the 11 singles matches involving Pac-12 players, the conference player was favored in 5 matches, the underdog in 4, and a toss-up in 2. The Pac-12 player won 4 of the 5 matches where we were favored (looking at you, Janice Shin), won both toss-ups, and pulled off an upset. In doubles, the conference went 4-2, with one of UCLA's three teams going down in addition to Stanford's lone pair.
As for that UCLA klaxon, all three UCLA singles players (and two of the doubles teams) advanced. Coming into this tournament, there were three Bruins, three Golden Bears, two Cardinal, two Trojans, and one Buff. Remaining in the main draw are all three Bruins, two Golden Bears (both freshmen), one Trojan, and one Cardinal. There's another intra-conference match today in addition to Gordon-Giavara: 2nd seeded UCLA freshman Abigail Forbes takes on Cal freshman Valentina Ivanov.
Overall for the tournament, chalk held up pretty well--only one singles seed went down in the first round.
