No. 4 seed Anderson retires from Gold River match

   Fourth-seeded Robin Anderson, who graduated from UCLA last year after a storied career, retired from her first-round match on Tuesday in the $50,0000 FSP Gold River Women's Challenger.
   Anderson, only 5-foot-3 (1.61 meters), quit with a shoulder injury after leading Eri Hozumi of Japan 3-2 in the first set at the Gold River Racquet Club in the Sacramento area.
   Hozumi's countrywoman Mayo Hibi, seeded seventh, dismissed Jamie Loeb of Ossining, N.Y., 6-2, 6-3.
   Hibi, who was born in Japan but grew up in Irvine, Calif., won the 2013 Gold River Challenger at age 17. Loeb, a product of the John McEnroe Tennis Academy in New York, turned pro after winning the NCAA singles title last year as a North Carolina sophomore.
   Kristie Ahn, who played No. 2 singles on Stanford's 2013 NCAA championship team, topped Renata Zarazua of Mexico 5-7, 6-3, 6-3.
   Second-seeded Grace Min of Boca Raton, Fla., beat Claire Liu, a 16-year-old wild card from Thousand Oaks in the Los Angeles area, 6-4, 6-4.
   At Wimbledon this month, Liu reached the girls singles quarterfinals and won the girls doubles title with countrywoman Usue Maitane Arconada.
