Girls’ Tennis

Second-seeded Julia Feldman of Taft High advanced to the semifinals of the City Section girls’ individual tennis tourney with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Leslie Musser of Van Nuys at the Racquet Centre Monday in Studio City.

Feldman, a senior who is 46-2 over three seasons, said she was tired from playing three matches in a juniors tournament last weekend and didn’t get warmed up until the second set.

Feldman will face Ilona Kordanskay of Los Angeles High in Wednesday’s semifinals. Kordanskay has won all three of her matches in the tournament by 6-0, 6-0 scores. She was ranked 53rd in the 14-and-under division by the Southern California Tennis Assn. last year.

In quarterfinal doubles matches, Stephanie Shapiro and Terri Rosenthal of Taft defeated Alison Fischer and Jennie Wilson of Palisades, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4. Carolyn Lee and Brenda Moore of Palisades defeated Taft’s Ravid Levy and Alicia Whelan, 7-5, 5-7, 7-6 (8-6).
