The pace of play has been crisp with four teams on the women's side already advancing into the main draw, which begins Friday. Top seed Chara Harris-Brooke Langston, No. 5 Angie Hall-Lauren Mills, No. 8 Laura Ratto-Colleen Smith, and twin sisters No. 18 Becca and Rachel Smith.
Eight teams from both the men's and women's sides will qualify for 32-team main draw.
The Smiths advanced in a walkover when Kelly Wing pulled out of the tournament with post-concussion syndrome, an injury she suffered in the 6-on-6 tournament in Manhattan Beach.
Vincent Robbins and Adam Roberts, the No. 1 seed on the men's side, defeated Dameon Holmquist and Andreas Olesen, 21-14, 21-19, in early action while No. 42 Pavel Bodjanac and Tom Kohler pulled off an early upset by ousting No. 23 Affonso Canedo and Wayne Holly, 21-18, 16-21, 16-14, in an hour-long match.
Other upsets on the men's side included No. 36 Gregory Hunter and Tony Yates eliminating No. 29 Erik Laverdiere and Brad Vallett, 21-11, 21-11; and No. 35 John Coon and Dave McKienzie defeating Jeff Schietzelt and Jason Stefon, 27-25, 21-14.
