BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — Boise State women's tennis player Maya Dutta is set to compete in the U.S. Open Junior Championships at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York. The qualifying draw will be released Wednesday evening, and play will begin Thursday, Aug. 29.
Dutta is one of 32 total juniors and the only player from the Mountain West competing in the qualifying rounds. Dutta will look to be one of eight athletes to earn a spot in the main draw by earning two straight victories in qualifying.
"What an incredible opportunity for Maya next week in New York," said head coach Beck Roghaar. "To play one junior grand slam is an incredible accomplishment, but to have made three in the same calendar year is really special. I know Maya loved the Australian Open and Wimbledon, but, obviously, as a player growing up in the United States, the U.S. Open is the biggest dream and I can't wait to see her compete out there."
Roghaar is also making the journey to New York to scout potential future Broncos with the added opportunity to cheer on Dutta simultaneously.
