Here's how Stanford did on the first full day of competition:
Singles:
* (1) Ma cruised in her two matches, winning 6-2, 6-1 in both of them. She'll play Cal's Erin Richardson in the Round of 32 tomorrow at 10:15am.
* (4) Yepifanova was much the same. She'll play Sac State's Mayya Gorbunova at 10:30am.
* Same with (9) Xu. She gets UOP's Olivia Wiese at 10:30am.
* (3) Blake, same thing. Easy first match (over Michaela Gordon's little sister Jenna), and the second wasn't much harder. Her opponent is TBD.
* (6) Blokhina, same thing.
* Houghton rolled in her first match and won her first set over Oregon's Lillian Mould 6-1 before Mould retired due to injury. So Houghton is through to the third round, likely against Cal's 2nd-seeded Jessica Alsola.
* Geller got smoked by UW's #1 player, 8th-seeded Sarah-Maude Fortin, 6-2, 6-1. You expect Geller to lose that match, but if she's going to show signs of what she was her freshman year, you'd like it to be more competitive, at least. Can she turn it around and roll to a consolation title, at least? She should easily be the class of that group. (Fortin then turned around and lost in 3 sets to WSU's #3 from last year. Sigh.)
* Sun got similarly smoked by Cal's Hannah Viller Moeller. Sigh.
If seeds hold from here on out, we're looking at the following quarterfinal matchups:
(1) Ma vs. (9) Luescher
(4) Yepifanova vs. (5) Wiersholm (though Xu is in line to play Wiersholm in the R16)
(3) Blake vs. (7) Viller Moeller
(2) Alsola vs. (6) Blokhina. I'd be pumped for that one.
Doubles
* (1) Blake/Ma needed a tiebreaker to get past a UC Davis duo, 8-7.
* (5) Yepifanova/Blokhina beat a Cal Poly duo, 8-3.
* Choy/Xu beat a Sac State pair 8-4.
* Geller/Houghton also needed a tiebreaker to win their first round match.
Second round of doubles is set for tomorrow morning, followed by the third round of singles late morning and then the Round of 16 in the afternoon.

* (1) Ma def. Richardson (Cal), 6-4, 7-5 (had a challenge!)

* (3) Blake def. Young, 6-0, 6-2
* (6) Blokhina def. Kraleva, 6-2, 6-2
* Houghton lost to (2) Alsola (Cal) in three sets, 6-4, 1-6, 4-6. That's encouraging from her!
