I had to do stuff, so I missed the ends of both matches, but what matches they were!
* Glozman claims her first collegiate title with a 6-2, 7-6 win over Connie Ma. Some great fight from Ma there with her back against the wall, and she forces the breaker, but it's not enough. Good on Glozman for finding that extra gear in the tiebreaker, though. It can be very, very hard to close out a set or a match when you have been up by that much and you feel it all slipping away. To be up 5-1 and be taken to a breaker is a body blow, but she recovered from it.
* Blokhina lost that tiebreaker, but she turned it back on in the third set to win 6-2, 6-7, 6-2 over Carter to book her place at NCAAs! That's now three Stanford players who have earned their places there, and chances remain for Hui to make it four.
Congrats to Valerie and Alexis on their wins! And congrats to Connie for yesterday's NCAA-spot-clinching win!
Also, hey guys? Glozman is really, really good. We've got something there.
FWIW, looks like Xu is out there getting warmed up, so presumably they'll still try and get the doubles final in today. On one hand, she's the only one of the four in this match playing with fresh legs, but on the other hand, she's the only one coming into the match cold.
