TYSON MCGUFFIN AND JAMES IGNATOWICH, A NEW PARTNERSHIP, ARE ONE OF THE 8 UNDEFEATED TEAMS REMAINING IN THE MEN’S DOUBLES MAIN DRAW WHICH WILL CONTINUE EARLY TOMORROW MORNING FROM RANCHO MIRAGE, CA.
Gender doubles kicked off this morning with a bang as many new partnerships took the court together for the first time in 2023, and gave us a glimpse of the unprecedented level of bracket depth and player talent that we will see throughout the year. Unfortunately, around 12:30pm PT, rain swept over the desert and forced a postponement of the action. Pro gender doubles bracket play will continue tomorrow morning, with PPA Tour YouTube live stream coverage beginning at a special early start time of 8:00am PT.
In women’s doubles, 9 teams, all top 10 seeds, remain undefeated in the main draw. The most notable result of the draw thus far saw the Selkirk sibling duo of Mary & Maggie Brascia complete a three game upset over the 5 seed in Jorja Johnson & Vivienne David. Below are the matchups that will take place to continue the bracket tomorrow morning:
(1) Lucy Kovalova & Callie Smith vs. (16) Genie Erokhina & Claudia Stepien.
(4) Yana Grechkina & Catherine Parenteau vs. (12) Mary & Maggie Brascia.
(2) Anna Leigh Waters & Anna Bright vs. (10) Michelle Esquivel & Lindsey Newman.
(3) Jessie Irvine & Irina Tereschenko vs. (6) Lacy Shcneemann & Etta Wright.
On the men’s side, favorites pulled through in nearly all first-round matchups, and the final 8 teams were seeded 1-8, and are full of familiar names. Below are your quarterfinal matchups when men’s doubles continues tomorrow morning:
(1) Ben & Collin Johns vs. (8) Patrick Smith & Steve Deakin.
