Top Seeds to Play Opening Matches on Tuesday at USTA National 40 Hard Court Championships

TOP SEEDS TO PLAY OPENING MATCHES ON TUESDAY
AT USTA NATIONAL 40 HARD COURT CHAMPIONSHIPS

Tuesday’s Matches to begin at 8 a.m. (PST) at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club

LA JOLLA, Calif. – (November 26, 2018) – After receiving first-round byes on Monday, the top seeds at the United States Tennis Association National 40 Hard Court Championships will play second-round matches on Tuesday at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club.

Jeff Greenwald of San Anselmo, Calif., the No. 1 men’s singles seed, will face unseeded Trent Aaron of San Diego at 11 a.m.  Aaron blanked Todd Granius of Laguna Niguel, Calif., 6-0, 6-0 in Monday’s first-round action.

Second-seeded Stuart Duncan of Laguna Beach, Calif., will play unseeded Rob Horsch of Laguna Niguel, Calif., at noon.  Horsch eliminated Nelson Alapi of La Jolla, Calif., 6-2, 6-1 on Monday.

In the women’s singles division, top-seed and two-time defending champion Hiromi Sasano of San Diego takes on unseeded Cindi Juncal of San Clemente, Calif., at 10 a.m.  Second-seeded Amanda Parson Siegel of Henderson, Nev., is scheduled to meet unseeded Mariko Atoji of San Diego at 11:45 a.m.

Greenwald is looking to win his third straight USTA National 40 Hard Court men’s singles title and fourth overall. The 52-year-old sport psychology consultant and licensed therapist won his first singles title in 2009.

“I just love to play and I love to compete. I appreciate that I’m still able to come out (to La Jolla). The fact that I’m seeded number one doesn’t have any particular weight for me,” said Greenwald, the two-time defending men’s singles champion. “I still move pretty well and that helps me. I still feel fit and I don’t put a lot of pressure on myself. I want to win of course, but more importantly I want to play well.”

In other men’s first-round action on Monday, 12th-seeded Trent Miller of San Diego eliminated Peter Wernemar of Trabuco Canyon, Calif., 6-0, 6-4 while another San Diegan, 16th-seeded Kerry Safdie advanced with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 victory over Carter Hedrick of Manhattan Beach, Calif.
