May-Treanor and Walsh were 2-0 in the main draw and will face No. 4 Tyra Turner and Rachel Wacholder today in the women’s quarterfinal. The world champions defeated Katie and Tracy Lindquist 21-10, 21-14 in less than half an hour to advance.

Costa Mesa resident Mike Lambert and Stein Metzger advanced to the men’s quarterfinal after defeating Matt Fuerbringer and Casey Jennings, 21-17, 21-14. Lambert and Metzger will play Anthony Medel and Fred Souza for an automatic advancement to the semifinal. Fuerbringer, an Estancia product, and Jennings are still alive in the losers’ bracket. Today the No. 6 team will face No. 13 Canyon Ceman and Will Strickland.

No. 3 Jake Gibb of Costa Mesa and Sean Rosenthal will face No. 2 Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers in the other men’s match where a semifinal spot is at stake.
