Godsick's mother, Mary Joe Fernandez, won consecutive Orange Bowl singles titles in the 12s, 14s, 16s and 18s (1982-85). A former top-five player in singles and doubles as a professional, Fernandez works as a tennis commentator for ESPN. Godsick's father, Tony Godsick, is Roger Federer's agent.
Godsick and Quinn, last year's doubles champions in the 16s, are set to face seventh-seeded Edas Butvilas of Lithuania and Abedallah Shelbayh, a University of Florida freshman from Jordan.
Butvilas and Shelbayh, opponents in this year's Wimbledon boys doubles final, topped sixth-seeded Aleksander Orlikowski and Olaf Pieczkowski of Poland 6-7 (9), 6-2 [10-3].
Orlikowski and Pieczkowski defeated Butvilas and Shelbayh in the quarterfinals of last week's Eddie Herr International Championships in Bradenton, Fla., en route to the title.
In the Wimbledon boys doubles final, Butvilas and Alejandro Manzaneras Pertusa of Spain beat Daniel Rincón of Spain and Shelbayh 6-3, 6-4. Both teams were unseeded.
