Three Matches Completed Before Day is Suspended Due to Rain

Tyler, TX (October 27, 2020) – Day 2 of the Bellatorum Resources Pro Classic, an $80K USTA Pro Circuit Event, completed three matches before play was suspended at approximately 6:00pm local time due to weather.

University of Texas signee Charlotte Chavatipon and #16 seed Conny Perrin took Center Court at approximately 3:30pm. The 18 year-old Wild Card came out strong, but fell just short in the first set tiebreaker before the No. 270-ranked Perrin expertly closed out the second set 6-3.

Meanwhile, #14 seed Harmony Tan railed past Wild Card Chloe Henderson 6-0, 6-2 and Alternate Paula Kania-Chodun upset the 11-seeded Marie Benoit 6-3, 6-0.

Tomorrow’s order of play is scheduled to conclude the Qualifying rounds and begin the Singles main draw matches. Weather-permitting, Wednesday afternoon will feature top talent Shelby Rogers against 2018 Tyler Champion Whitney Osuigwe on Center Court, while 2017 Champion and #5 seed Kristie Ahn will face off against 18 year-old American up-and-comer Hailey Baptiste.

Later in the day, tour veteran Varvara Lepchenko will face rising star Caty McNally, who recently reached the third round of the US Open. Junior world No. 4 Diane Parry will meet 20 year-old Ann Li, who reached the 2020 US Open third round and was ranked as high as No. 12 as a Junior.
