ATLANTA – Georgia Tech sophomore Kristi Miller and doubles partner Megan Bradley, formerly of the University of Miami, advanced to the second round of play in the U.S. Open with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Columbia’s Catalina Castano and Spain’s Laura Pous Tio in the opening round.
The American duo face the tournament’s eighth-seeded duo of American Corina Morariu and Patty Schnyder of Switzerland in the second round, which will be played this weekend.

Following the tournament, Miller will return to Atlanta as she begins her sophomore year as a member of the Georgia Tech tennis team. The Marysville, Mich. native garnered numerous accolades in her first season on the Flats, including earning ACC and ITA South Region Rookie of the Year honors and all-ACC, Academic All-ACC and ITA Scholar-Athlete recognition. She also became the first Yellow Jacket in the history of the women’s tennis program to earn All-America honors when she earned one of the top-16 national seeds in the 2005 NCAA Singles Championships.
