CARSON, Calif. – The top-seeded girls in the 18s and 16s rolled to wins on Day 2 of the sixth annual USTA International Spring Championships on Tuesday at the USTA Training Center – West at the Home Depot Center.
 
Katarena Palivets dropped just six games and Brooke Austin just three, as clear skies filled the air a day after rain delayed the first day of play. It wasn’t so easy on the boys’ side, as 18s top-seeded Raymond Sarmiento was tested in his first-round match by last year’s 14s Easter Bowl champion Mackenzie McDonald before finally prevailing, 7-5, 6-4, at the ITF Grade 1 event. In the 16s, No. 1 Tyler Gardiner had an even tougher time, needing three sets to beat fellow American Stephen Watson, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2.
 
Caroline Price provided one of the days biggest upsets when she beat No. 9-seeded Brooke Bolender, 6-1, 6-4, in the 18s. Daniel Ho recorded just as big a win, as he beat ITF world-ranked No. 88 and the tournament’s 18s No. 8 seed Mitchell Krueger, 6-4, 6-1. “He also got me at last year’s Kalamazoo tournament,” Krueger said of the 6-4, 6-4 loss to Ho at the USTA National 16s Hardcourts. “I was hoping for some revenge today, but it didn’t happen.”
 
Sixteen-year-old Shane Visant, who trains at the USTA National Training Center in Boca Raton, Fla., will meet Jeremy Efferding in the second round after his convincing 6-4, 6-2 win against Michael Redlicki. The two know each other's games well, as Efferding also trains with Visant at the Boca Raton facility.
 
Visant, originally from Keller, Texas, and the No. 9-seeded player at Carson, is currently ranked No. 93 in the ITF rankings. He’s had some solid results recently, with a semifinal finish at a Grade 2 event in Paraguay and a quarterfinal showing at a Grade 1 in Kentucky. “These next two weeks on the junior calendar are important for rankings,” said Visant, last year’s 16s Easter Bowl champion. “I’ve been training hard but tapered off a bit to get ready for these two weeks.”
