Pro Circuit Round-up: Davis, Subhash take titles

Team USA provided seven of the eight singles quarterfinalists in each of the two women’s events on the USTA Pro Circuit calendar last week, with Lauren Davis and Natasha Subhash ending the week as champions.

Davis (pictured above) won not only her ninth ITF singles title, but also a wild card into the upcoming French Open, courtesy of the USTA’s Roland Garros Wild Card Challenge. At the W100 event in Bonita Springs, Fla., Davis’ Sunday victory vaulted her ahead of semifinalist Whitney Osuigwe on the final day of the four-week challenge.

The No. 4-seeded champ defeated Ann Li, 7-5, 7-5, in the final after taking out Francesca Di Lorenzo, 6-1, 6-2, in the semis. In the opposite semi, Li took out Osuigwe, 0-6, 7-5, 6-4. Bowing out in the quarterfinals were No. 2 Taylor Townsend, No. 5 Sachia Vickery and qualifier Louisa Chirico. 

In the Bonita Springs doubles event, Usue Arconada and Caroline Dolehide teamed up to reach the final.

Subhash’s trophy came at the W15 event in Williamsburg, Va., where she overwhelmed Swiss finalist and No. 6 seed Nina Stadler, 6-2, 6-3, in the title match.  Born in Fairfax, Va., the former Top-30 junior girl claimed her first ITF singles title in her home state.

Subhash scored a 6-0, 6-0 victory over wild-card American Elaine Chervinsky in the semis, where Stadler took out No. 5 Joelle Kissell of the U.S. The Virginia quarterfinal field also included qualifiers Vanessa Ong and Jaedan Brown, wild-card Reese Brantmeier and direct-entrant Kimmi Hance.

Ong teamed with Savannah Broadus to win the doubles title, topping Chervinsky and Kylie Collins, 6-3, 6-1, in an all-U.S. final. 

The men’s Pro Circuit was on display in Pensacola, Fla., where Harrison Adams was a singles finalist at the M25 event. The No. 2 seed dropped a 6-2, 6-4 final to top seed Juan Pablo Varillas of Peru. In an all-American semi, Adams dispatched Felix Corwin, 6-4, 6-3.

Three Americans contested the doubles final, as Junior Ore and Colombia’s Junior Alexander Ore took out Ian Dempster and Korey Lovett, 4-6, 7-6, [10-6].
