Roseville's Riffice advances in Orange Bowl 18s

   Sam Riffice of Roseville in the Sacramento area defeated qualifier Andres Andrade of Ecuador 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 today in the completion of a suspended boys 18 first-round match at the Orange Bowl in Plantation, Fla.
   Riffice, who won the 16s title last year at 15 years old, will face 10th-seeded Jurabek Karimov of Uzbekistan. Karimov demolished lucky loser Sean Huynh of Canada 6-1, 6-0.
   Riffice trains at the USTA center in Boca Raton, Fla.
   In the first round of the boys 16s, Jenson Brooksby of Carmichael in the Sacramento region lost to qualifier Luka Pavlovic of France 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3). Brooksby, 15, served for the second set at 5-4.
   Sofia Kenin, the top seed and defending champion in the girls 18s, fell to Olga Danilovic, a 14-year-old left-hander from Serbia, 6-0, 5-7, 7-5.
   No. 12 seed Michaela Gordon (girls 18s) of Saratoga in the San Francisco Bay Area, Carolyn Campana (girls 16s) of Hillsborough in the Bay Area and Keenan Mayo (boys 16s) do not play singles today after winning their first-round matches earlier in the week.
   Gordon, 16, reached the Wimbledon girls quarterfinals this year. Mayo, Riffice's childhood friend from Roseville, trains at the USTA center in Carson in the Los Angeles region.
   Mayo will take on second-seeded Jonas Ericksson Zeverts of Sweden. Campana will meet ninth-seeded Sohyun Park of South Korea.

   Winners of the tournament on hardcourts include Roger Federer (1998), Elena Dementieva (1998), Andy Roddick (1999), Vera Zvonareva (2000 and 2001), Marcos Baghdatis (2003) and Caroline Wozniacki (2005).
