… and then there were two.
Day 6 in the ResortQuest Pro Women’s Open at Sea Colony – a $25,000 USTA Pro Circuit clay court event – ended with the crowing of the event’s ninth doubles champions and set the stage for Sunday morning’s all American singles championship match.
In a schedule change to avoid expected inclement weather, the tournament’s final match will begin at 9 a.m.
Singles semifinals:
Top-seeded American Usue Maitane Arconada defeated seventh-seeded Dea Herdzelas, of Bosnia/Herzegovina, 6-2 7-6(3) to advance to the finals. Entering the event at No. 281 in the world, Arconada hasn’t dropped a set in her march to the finals.
Wild card American Natasha Subhash needed three sets and more than three hours to dispatch Swiss Tess Sugnaux 7-5 5-7 6-3 to earn her finals appearance. Subhash entered the tournament ranked No. 793 in the world.
Doubles finals:
Top seeded American duo of Arconada and Hayley Carter claimed the tournament’s ninth doubles title after besting the third-seeded pair of Herdzelas and Slovakian Tereza Mihalikova 6-4 6-4.
Nations represented in Day 6 play were Bosnia/Herzegovina, Slovakia, Switzerland and The United States of America.
