Palisades Tennis Center juniors continue to dominate in tournament competition throughout Southern California this season. Palisades Elementary student Harry Cohen won the 10-and-under division of the 11th annual Beverly Hills Tennis Classic last weekend at the Beverly Hills Tennis Center. Cohen did not drop a set in four matches, defeating Brandon Yeshoua of Tarzana, 6-1, 6-1, in the first round; Nathan Benyowitz of Los Angeles, 7-6, 6-3, in the quarterfinals; top-seeded Samuel Feit of Los Angeles, 6-4, 6-2, in the semifinals; and Cirus Bry of Santa Monica, 6-3, 6-1, in the finals. In the Rancho Cienega Tournament, PTC juniors Derek Vincent, Cole Pilar and Zavin Davidian swept the top three spots in the Boys 8s division, with Vincent the champion, Pilar a finalist and Davidian winning the third-place match. “It’s amazing how hard the kids at the PTC are working,” said PTC Pro Chris Harradine. “At every tournament, you now see Palisades Tennis Center shirts everywhere. The PTC is clearly one of the nation’s best hubs for tennis.” Playing in the 12s division, PTC player Brandon Michaels reached the finals of the K-Swiss Masters Tournament. Along the way, he beat Henry Gordon and Chase Lipscomb of Irvine before losing to Southern California’s No. 2-ranked player, Maxwell Cancilla, 6-2, 6-2. Another PTC player, Josh Rosen, is now No. 1 in the Section in the Boys 10s division.
