Milavsky and Mavor Headline March Junior Success
INDIAN WELLS, CA- Daniel Milavsky (Needham, MA) and Lana Mavor (Yarmouth, ME) each took home Bronze Balls at the L1 USTA National Spring Championships, also known as the Easter Bowl for the 16s, 14s and 12s divisions. (The 18s Easter Bowl is classified as an ITF.) The championships were played at Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, CA from March 24-31.
The No. 6 seeds in the Boys’ 16s, Milavsky and partner Trey Stinchcomb (Olney, MD), reached the semifinals where they fell to eventual champs, Welsh Hotard and Benjamin Koch. Milavsky and Stinchcomb rallied back from a set down in the third-place match to take the Bronze in three, 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-3.
Mavor and partner Robin Montgomery were unranked heading into the Girls’ 16s doubles draw. They knocked off top seeds Carmen Corley and Gianna Pielet (Southwest) in the round of 16 and upset the No. 6 seeds to reach the semifinals. There, they fell to No. 3 Amanda Chan and Chidimma Okpara in a three-set thriller, 6-7(4), 7-5, 4-6. The duo bounced back in the third-place match, taking it in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4.
Also taking place during the final weekend of March were the New England L4 Doubles Championships. New England juniors competed at three sites throughout Connecticut in the final New England Super Six Championship until June.

When I was 34, I heard Stan Smith give a lecture on the role of the head in posture and balance. Being a young, all-knowing coach at the time, I thought it was obvious. Of course posture and balance matter. Seven years later, I had an epiphany. I finally saw what true posture and balance actually look like. It is not obvious. Not even close. I had to pay attention.

Relying on the grit honed over years of rehabilitation, she battled back point after point to win the match and secure the bronze for Maccabi USA, a non-profit sponsoring the American delegation at the Games. For Pearl, the bronze was more than a win; it was the ultimate symbol of perseverance and the official end of her journey to recovery. Read More
