Junior Orange Bowl 49th International Tennis Championship Qualifier Update

(CORAL GABLES, DEC 15, 2010) – Qualifying matches for the Junior Orange Bowl Tennis Championship are underway, as the main draw pairings will be cemented when play wraps up on Thursday.

The girls 12 & under group is down to the final 32, while the other three brackets are in the round of 64.

On Wednesday, 12 of the 32 matches in the girls U12 went three sets, perhaps none more scintillating than the duel between Port St. Lucie's Jeannie Lozowski and Miami's Mya Fuentes. Lozowski outlasted Fuentes, 7-6(6), 4-6, 7-5.

The main draw begins on Friday and will take place at four different locations: boys 14 & under (University of Miami Tennis Center), girls 14 & under (Biltmore Tennis Center), boys 12 & under (Tropical Park Tennis Center), and girls 12 & under (Salvadore Park).
