Less than two weeks removed from spinal surgery, the elder Turner sported a large neck brace as he stood and quietly cheered from a distance during Jenson's third-round qualifying match in the boys' 18-under division. Jenson, still recovering from a lower back injury that forced him to withdraw from the 107th Ojai Valley Tournament in April, Turner gave his father several reasons to celebrate, moving a step closer to reaching the 32-player main draw with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Mission Viejo's Patrick Szeremeta at Los Caballeros Racquet and Sports Club A sports club, athletics club or sports association is an eclectic institution oriented to multiple sports, which fields many teams and has varied sports departments in several sports, working under the same umbrella organization. .

"It's been a roller coaster with all these injuries," said Turner, who will face Kevin Pang of California Academy of Math and Sciences in Carson at 3:30p.m. today at Los Caballeros. "One goes away, then another one pops up. I came back a little too early (after Ojai) and I had a tough loss (in Anaheim), so I'm pretty excited to have another tournament after a loss like that." As a precautionary measure, Turner participated in lengthy stretching exercises following his 6-1, 6-3 second-round victory over Brentwood's Casey Grindon, then gradually found his rhythm against Szeremeta before winning the match's final seven games. |
