The resilience of second-seeded Mary Carlisle White and the continued perfection of No. 7 Ivy Wang highlighted Day Three of the USTA Girls 16s Clay Court National Championships Tuesday at the Virginia Beach Tennis & Country Club.
White, a Spartanburg, S.C., native and one of the few seeds to encounter problems so far in the tournament, stood three points from defeat before rallying for a 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 victory over Lisa Dingwall of Houston, Texas.
Dingwall served for the match at 5-4 in the second set, but became tentative and surrendered the next three games. White then jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the deciding set and hung on for the victory.
All 15 of the other third-round matches were decided in straight sets.
Thirteen other seeds will join White in today's fourth round at 10:30 a.m., including Wang, bubbly and engaging off the court but a merciless assassin upon hearing the words ``Serve 'em up.''
On Tuesday, the Haverford, Pa., native trounced Janelle Williams of Miami, Fla., 6-0, 6-0, and has still yet to lose a game in her three matches.
Wang will take on Stephanie Hazlett in the fourth round today. Hazlett, one of two unseeded players to reach the Round of 16, took out Olivia Streatfield, 6-4, 6-0.
The other non-seed in the fourth round, Kathy Sell of Moorestown, N.J., upset fifth-seeded Annica Cooper of Geneva, Ill. Tuesday, 7-6, 6-2.
Thirteenth-seeded Jenny Miller of Savannah, Ga., convincingly ended the main draw run of Virginia Beach's Jessica Zaganczyk with a 6-0, 6-0 victory. by CNB
