JTCC High Performance Players Compete in Easter Bowl

Posted on by Peter Goodman

Ten JTCC High Performance players competed in March in the prestigious USTA Level 1 FILA Easter Bowl tournament in Indian Wells, CA.

Often referred to as the “Super Bowl of Junior Tennis,” the Easter Bowl is known for jumpstarting the careers of Hall of Famers Andre Agassi, Tracy Austin, John McEnroe, and JTCC alumnus and former world #10 Frances Tiafoe.

One of the premier showcases of Junior tennis in the United States, the Easter Bowl is a six-day tournament that features Boys and Girls 18s, 16s, 14s, and 12s and Under Singles and Doubles divisions.

Headlining play for JTCC this year were Carolina Castro, who earned a Silver Ball in Girls’ 16s singles action, and Nico Pedraza and Erik Schinnerer teamed up to claim Silver Balls in Boys’ 16s doubles. Schinnerer also won the Boys’ 16s consolation singles back draw.

The other seven players competing for JTCC were:

  • Elodie Agnamba
  • Lola Looney
  • Kalista Papadopoulos
  • Meghna Pillai
  • Reiley Rhodes
  • Shristi Selvan
  • Legan Thomas

“Seeing our players compete at the Easter Bowl, one of the premier tournaments featuring the top 64 players in the country, was fantastic,” said JTCC Director of Champs II James Carr, who accompanied the players on the trip. “There were many positives to take away from the event, and we look forward to getting back to work and helping our players prepare for summer events.”

 

Frances Tiafoe Reaches 3rd Straight Houston Final

Posted on by JTCC Marketing

“Houston, we have a problem” applies only to Frances Tiafoe’s early round opponents in the Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championship in Houston, TX, because the Hyattsville native continues to destroy opponents on his way to three consecutive finals at the ATP 250 event.

Having won the 2023 event with a hard-fought 7-6, 7-6 victory over Tomas Etcheverry of Argentina and valiantly falling in three sets last year to fellow American Ben Shelton, Tiafoe is aiming to become the fourth player to win multiple titles at the ATP 250 event since it moved to Houston in 2001, joining Andy Roddick, Juan Monaco, and Steve Johnson.

Tiafoe, seeded #2, earned a bye and then breezed through his first three rounds without dropping a set, including wins over Americans Alex Michelsen and Brandon Nakashima, marking Tiafoe’s first back-to-back wins in 2025.

Playing a fellow American in the final for the second time, Tiafoe fell to compatriot qualifier Jenson Brooksby, 6-4, 6-2, who earned his first career title, having saved match points in three different matches.

“Stringing a bunch of matches together is always great, and I wish I could do it more week in and week out,” Tiafoe said with a smile during the post-match trophy ceremony. “Hopefully this result helps build momentum for Monte Carlo next week.”

Next up for the Hyattsville native is a first-round encounter with Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round of the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters this week.

Posted on by JTCC Marketing

The Para Standing Championships held March 1-2 brought together 15 exceptional athletes from the United States and Chile and featured a remarkable display of talent across multiple competitive categories including Men’s and Women’s singles and doubles.

JTCC was well-represented with half of the field represented by players in the JTCC Adaptive programs, including:

● Layla Tyus
● Renee Schmidt
● Gary Boshoff
● Kenneth Rodriguez
● Kemit Lewis
● Alejandro Guadarrama
● Daria Rubin
● Richard DeBella

The Championship attracted world-class competitors, including European and World Champion Daniel Scrivano and World runner-up Martina Siebert, elevating the tournament’s competitive profile.

Kendra Herber took home the Women’s Open singles title, while Samuel Shnowske topped Scrivano in a very competitive three-set battle in the Men’s Open singles final.

Off the court, tournament staff and participants were treated to a special screening of “Foot Fault”, a film created by Para Standing player and comedian Adam Hills, hosted at The Hall CP.

“The second annual JTCC Para Standing tournament brought top players from around the world, giving our local athletes a chance to compete at the highest level,” said JTCC Head of Wheelchair & Adaptive Tennis Gabby Hesse. “We are proud to keep creating opportunities for all players with disabilities to train and test their skills in competition.”
