BRADENTON - No major upsets were reported Tuesday during the second day of the Eddie Herr International Junior Tournament at the Bollettieri Sports Academy.

Virginie Razzano of France, the top-seed in the girls 18s draw, breezed through her first round match, defeating Melissa Torres of Mexio in straight sets, 6-0. 6-0.

The third seed in the draw, Cheli Bar Gil of Israel, wasn't so fortunate, however. She was ousted in the first round by Natalie Mikolich of the United States 6-7 (3), 6-3, 6-2.

The No. 2 seed in the girls 18s, Daniela Bedanova of Czechoslovakia, beat Lauren Barnikow of the United States 6-1, 7-5.

In the boys 14s, Nikolay Soloviev of Russia defeated Gianfranco Dossena of Italy 6-7 (3), 7-6 (3) 6-1 in what might very well have been the match of the day.

Chile's Jorge Aguilar, the third seed in the draw, beat Rayne Russell of Jamaica 6-0, 6-2.

Sue Wei Hsieh (Taipei), the top-seed in the girls 14s, had little trouble with Helen Fritche (Great Britain) - Fritche failed to show for the match.
