Top seed to kick off men's pro tourney in Sacramento

   Last week, a women's professional tournament was held in the Sacramento area. This week, the men are in town.
   Top-seeded Tennys Sandgren of Gallatin, Tenn., will meet wild card Jeff Dadamo of Tampa, Fla., today at 10 a.m. in the first round of the $15,000 Tennis Town Pro Tennis at Park Terrace in Sacramento.
   Sandgren, 20, has won five ITF Futures singles titles since turning pro last summer after his sophomore year at Tennessee. This year, he has soared from No. 540 in the world to No. 289. Sandgren is named after his grandfather, not his sport. "Tennys" is a Swedish name.
   Dadamo, 22, won the NCAA doubles title last year as a Texas A&M senior (with Austin Krajicek). He is ranked No. 641 in singles.
   In another first-round match today, former Cal star Pedro Zerbini of Brazil will face Bjorn Fratangelo, 18, of Pittsburgh not before 11 a.m.
   Zerbini, 23, debuted in the world rankings at No. 1,218 on April 2. Since then, he has jumped to No. 675.
   Fratangelo, who is named after Bjorn Borg, last year became the first American since John McEnroe in 1977 to win the French Open boys singles title.
