Di Giulio Wins First Stop on ITA Summer Circuit
Di Giulio, who hails from nearby Newport Beach, Calif., was the top seed in the 64-player singles draw. He breezed to the final without dropping a set until he ran into second-seeded Trevor Johnson of TCU. Although he lost the first set in a tiebreaker, Di Giulio stayed strong, eventually storming back for a 6-7, 6-3, (10-8) victory to claim the crown.
Di Giulio was also seeded No. 1 in the 32-team doubles draw in Laguna Niguel, as he and partner Ibrahim Karmadzha of BYU-Hawaii reached the semifinals.
