WHITE PLAINS, New York (AP) - Madison Brengle and Wayne Odesnik
earned wild-card berths for the French Open by winning U.S. Tennis
Association mini-tournaments.
The 18-year-old Brengle, a recent U.S. Fed Cup team selection,
defeated Ahsha Rolle to emerge from an eight-woman field for a USTA
wild card into the clay-court Grand Slam tournament, which begins
May 25.
Brengle is ranked 274th by the WTA Tour.
The 22-year-old Odesnik, who is ranked 109th, was undefeated
during round-robin play against three other men vying for a USTA
wild card.
The USTA and French tennis federation have a reciprocal
agreement to exchange wild-card spots at the U.S. Open and French
Open in 2008.
