Georgetown Hosts Berry Creek ZAT; Seward Qualifies
This first weekend of August held the Berry Creek ZAT, hosted by Georgetown, Tx, a tournament open to all non-qualified junior players.
Representing ATA was James Seward in the boys' 16s red draw and MIkaela Pope in the girls' 16s white draw.
James Seward competed like a man on a mission this past weekend, winning his first three matches to earn Championship status in the USTA Texas Section. In his qualifying match he faced the number five seeded J. Quarderer, whom he took down 6-0, 6-1 to advance to the final round.
"James was a determined player this past weekend," Coach Collins said. "He competed well and accomplished an important goal."
After falling in her first round match, Mikaela Pope bounced back to beat four straight opponents and take the consolation championship. Mikaela eliminated J. Pham 6-4, 6-4 in the semi finals, and Jessica Clause in the finals, 6-2, 7-5.
"Mikaela's hard work in practice showed up in this tournament," Coach Collins said. "Her quality of play improved with every match."
Look for James to continue to succeed in the Champ qualified division, while Mikaela proved that she is surely not far behind. Next up is the CATA Tour ATA Open on August 7th. Enter Now!!
