BLUE-GRAY NATIONAL TENNIS CLASSIC: Tulsa freshman Arevalo continues to turn heads
One look is about all they’ve seen, at least at this level. Arevalo followed up his second collegiate match on Thursday with another victory on Friday in the Blue-Gray National Tennis Classic.
“It’s a really nice tournament,” Arevalo said. “I like it. You get to stay with host families and that’s really nice because you get to meet good people.”
The 19-year-old El Salvador native defeated Furman’s Sawyer Duncan 6-1, 6-3 on Thursday for only his second win as a college tennis player. Then he followed it up by accounting for all of Tulsa’s points with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Arizona’s Jay Goldman and teaming with Ive Grant to beat Andres Arango and Andres Carrasco in a doubles match.
It’s a new environment for Arevalo, who grew up learning tennis from his older brother Rafael, a pro player who teamed up with his brother in Davis Cup competition.
2009 Los Angeles Auto Show
If the North American auto show season has an official kickoff party, the Los Angeles Auto Show is it. In addition to world debuts of the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe, 2011 Toyota Sienna and VW Up! Lite Concept, the 2009 LA Auto Show again played host to the Green Car of the Year announcement, which went to a diesel car for the second year in a row. The LA Auto Show is also a first chance to see and touch the cars unveiled around the world in the eight months since the New York Auto Show, which this year included jaw-droppers like the 2011 Lexus LFA and 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.
