Next for Trombetta is top seed Mike McClune, who reached the semifinals with a clinical 6-1, 6-1 win over unseeded 15-year-old Ryan Harrison.
"There's definitely a little more nerves than normal," said the 17-year-old from Irvine, CA about playing an unseeded and much younger opponent. "But you've just got to trust your shots and continue playing the way you have the whole tournament."
For McClune, that means hitting deep in the court and keeping errors to a minimum, although he admitted that Harrison's ability to volley made for a special challenge.
"I knew he was going to attack my second serve," McClune said. "I knew he was going to try to come in as much as he could, so I really worked on my passing shots, and making every return."
Top Four in Both Divisions Move On to Quarterfinals

Top seed Michael McClune got past No. 21 seed Steve Johnson 6-2, 6-4 to advance to a meeting Friday with 15-year-old Ryan Harrison, who outclassed Daniel Gliner 6-1, 6-2. Harrison, like Gliner, is unseeded, but he was confident his game was mature enough to challenge those in the older division.
"When I saw the draw, I knew I could beat everyone I was playing against, it was just a matter of getting ready to play and playing well. In the second round I had a tough match against (Tyler) Hochwalt--I felt he should have been seeded higher than he was, he's a much better player than his seed (28)--and I was down a set and a break against him...and after that I've been playing well and my confidence is up."
