A huge amount of ITF events going on last week, with Renata Zarazua and Taylah Preston taking out the big W100 events. Zarazua now has 12 professional titles, and Preston has 8, as she gets back towards her career high of 134. Welles Newman, Ksenia Smirnova, and Rinko Matsuda all won their first ITF event. It was a very young affair in Orlando, with 16yo Newman, defeating 15yo Jenae Preston. Some names to watch for the future there.
On the men’s side, we unfortunately had 2 walkovers in finals, however in could be argued the highlight of the week was Costa Rican 31yo, Jesse Flores winning his maiden ITF title. After 10 years battling away, he’s finally lifted a trophy!
