NEW YORK — Twelve of the 32 winners-bracket matches Friday went to three at AVP New York.
Of the eight teams that were eliminated, the only surprise was the exit of the new pair of ninth-seeded Eric Zaun and Tim Bomgren. They lost both their matches, first to Olympians Ricardo Santos and Chaim Schalk (21-16, 21-19) and then qualifiers Kyle Friend and Myles Muagututia (21-18, 18-21, 15-11).
In the men’s draw, fans were treated to an exceptional match on a day where the temperature was 82 degrees as as top-seeded Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena eked out a victory over Brazil’s Santos and Canada’s Schalk (17-21, 21-13, 15-11), with Dalhausser’s blocking carrying them through to the third round.
The biggest men’s upset of the day was 11th-seeded Avery Drost and Chase Frishman sending No. 6 Casey Patterson and Stafford Slick to the contenders bracket (21-17, 12-21, 17-15).
On the women’s side, No. 3 Alix Klineman and April Ross survived a three-set scare against No. 6 Kelley Larsen and Emily Stockman (17-21, 21-13, 15-12).
There were two significant upsets in the first round as No. 4 Emily Day and Betsi Flint were dropped into the contenders bracket by No. 13 Aurora Davis and Bree Scarbrough (21-19, 21-15) and No. 7 Caitlin Ledoux and Maria Clara Salgado were upended by No. 10 Janelle Allen and Angela Bensend (11-21, 21-17, 15-11).
Saturday’s play begins at 10:05 a.m. Eastern at Hudson Park. The tournament is streamed live on Amazon Prime and results can be found at BVBinfo.com.
