Vickery, Shibahara Top Seeds at USTA Girls 18s and 16s Nationals

The seeds for the USTA Girls 16s and 18s National Championships have been released, with Sachia Vickery the No. 1 in the 18s, and defending champion Vicky Duval No. 3. Winter National and ISC 16s Carson champion Ena Shibahara is No. 1 in the 16s, with defending champion Kim Yee No. 2.  Even without US Open girls champion Samantha Crawford, who hasn't played since the $25K in Raleigh in May, the 18s field is an impressive one, with the top 10 seeds all in the WTA Top 500.  Jennifer Brady, Hayley Carter, Liz Jeukeng, Kourtney Keegan, Maegan Manasse, Maria Shishkina, Cassandra Vazquez and Amy Zhu are among the many dangerous players who are unseeded.
