Playing on one of the front three courts at Stowe Stadium suits Michael Redlicki just fine. The 18s No. 20 seed, from Hawthorn Woods, Ill., defeated Matthew Alves, Gold River, Calif., 6-4, 6-4. “In the beginning, I was especially comfortable because last year on Court 2 was my semifinal and it was a cloudy day and today was also a cloudy day, so it was like it was just yesterday playing on it,” said Redlicki, who won the 16s singles title last year. “It always was and always will be a great accomplishment in my career, winning Kalamazoo, because only a select few do it,” he said. Redlicki and Robert Stineman, Winnetka, Ill, seeded 10th, advanced in doubles with a 6-1, 7-5 win over Jonathan Carcione, Franklin Lakes, N.J. and Andrew Yaraghi, Mill Neck, N.Y,
