Jason Isaacs Memorial update

There were no major upsets in the 18-year-old divisions during the opening rounds of the Jason Isaacs Memorial Junior Tennis Championships, which began Friday.

The five seeded pairs in the boys’ division - including the No. 1 duo of Eric Quigley, the defending Kentucky high school singles state champion from South Oldham, and Trinity standout Robert Stedman - all advanced to today’s quarterfinals.

So, too, did the four seeded pairs in the girls’ division, including the No. 1 tandem of Lindsey and Emily Mallory, the Christian Academy sisters who reached the high school state doubles final last year.

There are three other age groups - 12s, 14s and 16s - for boys and girls in the tournament, which is centered at Blairwood Tennis and Fitness Club. There were 232 entrants overall, according to tournament director Larry Kline.

All of the semifinals and finals will be played Sunday.
