Women's tennis struggles at opening tournament
By Jason Franchuk sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The No.28 Kansas women's tennis team struggled in its season-opening tournament, the William and Mary Invitational, only winning three of seven matches Saturday.
No. 90 Christie Sim was the highlight of the tournament, winning two matches Friday. Sim, who is expected to play No.2 singles for Kansas this spring, defeated No.37 Michelle O'Brien
of William and Mary 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 and No. 54 Nicole Strnadova of Syracuse 6-2, 6-3. She lost to No. 3 Vanessa Webb of Duke 6-3, 6-2 Saturday.
The tournament featured three top-10 teams: No. 4 Duke, No. 8 William and Mary and No. 10 Tennessee.
Men's tennis players Trent Tucker and Luis Uribe advanced in the singles draw of the National Clay Court Championships in Baltimore yesterday.
Tucker defeated Alabama's Graydon Oliver in the first round
and defeated Texas Christian's Martin Jirak 6-2, 6-3 in the second.
Uribe defeated George Washington's Mike Rozkofsky in the first round 6-3, 6-2, and then defeated South Alabama's Dani Homedes 6-1, 6-2.
The Jayhawks' Enrique Abaroa and Xavier Avila qualified for the main draw automatically based on their performances at the Championships last year.
The main draw begins Wednesday and finishes Sunday. Opponents for Avila and Abaroa have yet to be determined.
Golfers hope to tee off for victory

The Kansas men's golf team will start its season with a challenge.
The Jayhawks' first tournament, the Kansas Invitational, will be today and tomorrow at Alvamar Golf Club.
"It's important to win," golfer Brad Barnett said. "Because one, people are expecting you to do well. And two, it's good to get a jump on the rest of the competition of the regionals."
Last season, Kansas finished eighth out of 17 teams at the invitational.
Losing the tournament would hurt Kansas' postseason chances.
Golfer Chris Thompson said the Jayhawks' performance at the Invitational last season had put a blemish on the rest of the year.
"We finished behind Drake and Nebraska on our own course," Thompson said. "When it came time for selections to the regional tournament, that made us look kind of bad."
Drake, which won the event last year, will return to defend its title. Other teams scheduled to compete include Nebraska, Kansas State, Iowa State, Texas Tech, Wichita State, and Southwestern Louisiana.
"We should be pretty tough to beat," Thompson said.
Kansas coach Ross Randall agreed. "Our roster is loaded with freshmen and sophomores," Randall said. "But the team we're putting on the course is a very good one."
Of the 16 players on the roster, only five are allowed to compete at each tournament. Randall said Barnett, Thompson, Brad Davis and Ryan Vermeer were positioned to start but that the fifth spot still was undecided.
For Vermeer, who achieved a top-25 national ranking last year, preparing for the invitational has had extra incentives.
