The top-seeded upsets kept coming on Sunday, Day 2 at the 68th USTA Florida “Bobby Curtis” Junior State Singles Championships, contested June 11-15, 2016, at the Florida Tennis Center in Daytona Beach (18-16s divisions) and at Sanlando Park in Altamonte Springs (14-12s divisions).

A day after the Boys’ 18s division lost its No. 1 seed, the No. 2 seed was sent out on Sunday when Boca Raton’s Steven Sun ousted No. 2 Adam Ambrozy of South Pasadena, Fla., 6-2, 6-3. He joined Weston’s Michael Heller among the Boys’ 18s upset-makers as Heller upended the No. 1 seed in the division on Saturday in opening-round play.

Heller advanced again on Sunday, and Boys’ 18s seeded players will be on alert Monday when Heller faces No. 14 James Ignatowich of Wellington, and Sun meets No. 10 Tripp Tuff of Jacksonville Beach in round of 16 play.

The Boys’ 16s saw a lone upset on Sunday when Aventura’s Harrison Gold, a former “Bobby Curtis” State Doubles winner in the 10s division, upset No. 10 seed Randy Wilson of Miami 6-4, 7-5.

The Girls’ 18s division held firm on Sunday as all 14 remaining seeds advanced, but there was pandemonium in the Girls’ 16s division as five seeds were upended by unseeded players Ayshe Can (Weston), Charlotte Owensby (Boca Raton), Camila Ordonez (Aventura), Emma Heiderscheit (Bonita Springs), and Amina Dzebo (St. Petersburg).

Five seeds also lost in the Girls’ 14s division as Weston’s Kassandra Di Staulo ousted No. 2 Sydney Hua of Boca Raton from a set down 3-6, 7-5, 6-4, and was joined in the round of 16 by fellow upset-makers Maya Rukosuev (Altamonte Springs), Melanie Dlugolecki (Hallandale Beach), Mia Gonzalgo (Plantation), and Jaleesa Leslie (Apopka).

A handful of Boys’ 14s matches were not completed on Sunday due to inclement weather in Altamonte Springs.
