Aubone is an All-American and ranked No. 481 in the world. Venus was defeated 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. Krajicek's run came to an end against Steve Johnson, 6-2, 6-2. Krajicek also fell in the finals of the doubles draw with teammate Rhyne Williams. Hoover, competing in the ITA Summer Circuit, took home two singles titles at McMurray University and Collin County Community College. Hoover will return to Texas A&M for a tournament July 24-27.
