Columbia, S.C. –
The 2005 Wachovia Junior Hardcourt Championships came to an end on Thursday. Despite rain almost every day at the championships, 651 of 686 matches were played. Inclement weather caused consolation matches to be rescheduled but tournament officials kept the tournament moving on only losing 36 matches of the tournament. The matches that were lost all in the boys and girls 14 and 16 year old divisions. The boys and girls 10, 12, and 18 year old tourneys were all completed. The championships were held at four facilities located on the USC campus. Approximately 400 players came to Columbia for the week to participate in the tournament.

On Thursday, only the girls and boys 14 and 16 singles finals were played while the remainder of the matches were consolation matches that were rescheduled because of the weather. Jordan Poznick, the top seed in the boys 14 singles, clinched the championship with a 6-0,6-1 victory over Matthew Canelon.

In the girls 16 singles, Allison Stanford defeated Amanda Malatek in three sets. Stanford won the first set 7-6(5) but Malatek would bounce back to win the second 6-4. Stanford would clinch the victory in the third set with a 6-2 win.
