DURHAM, N.C. - Members of the Duke women's tennis team will be in action starting Saturday at the Riviera/ITA All-American Championships presented by FILA, held at the Riviera Tennis Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Sophomore Jessi Robinson and freshmen Elizabeth Plotkin and Amanda Granson will be the first to play, as they begin action in this weekend's pre-qualifying singles bracket. Plotkin and Granson will both square off at 10:30 a.m. PT (1:30 p.m.ET) on Saturday, with Plotkin set to meet Yvette Hyndman of Georgia and Granson set to meet Laura Vallverdu of Miami. Robinson will face off versus Kelly Hyndman of Georgia at 12:15 p.m. (3:15 p.m. ET) on the same day.
Sophomore Melissa Mang, the 55th-ranked singles player in the nation, and senior Daniela Bercek, the sixth-ranked singles player in the nation will join Plotkin, Granson and Robinson in California next week. Brackets and match times have not yet been set.
The premier hard court event of the fall collegiate season, the Riviera/ITA Women's All-American Championships presented by Fila feature the top players in NCAA Division I tennis. In the 2005-06 Championships, Duke's Bercek was defeated by TCU's Nicole Leimback in the championship match as the transfer dominated throughout the rest of the bracket in her first tournament as a Blue Devil..
The Riviera/ITA Women's All-American Championships is the first of three Intercollegiate Tennis Association national and singles and doubles championships of the 2006-07 season, along with the November 2-5 ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships and the year-end NCAA Championships.
The October 5-8 main draw is preceded by two sets of qualifying tournaments. The 64-player, 32 doubles team prequalifying tournament is Sept. 30-Oct. 1 at UCLA and eight players and four doubles teams will advance from there to the Oct. 3-4 64-player qualifying tournament at Riviera, where eight players and four doubles teams will advance to the main draw.
