As the 30th seed in boys 18s, Shane Vinsant had Tuesday’s match earmarked in his mind when he saw the draw. It turned out for good reason. Vinsant upset M.M. McDonald, the fourth seed from Piedmond, Calif., 6-1, 6-2. “I did well for that match because he was missing a lot and going for everything and I stayed in at every point,” said Vinsant, who is from Keller, Texas. “I wanted mostly to just play my game and also serve to his forehand more, high to his forehand a little bit. A lot of players you want to play to their backhand, but him, I think, forehand more.” Vinsant said he’s looking forward to playing tennis at Texas A & M in a few weeks. “I’m really excited,” he said. “I feel I’ll get a lot better there with those coaches.”
