No. 1 seeds George Cutone of Kennebunk and Sofia Mavor of Yarmouth were among the top seeds who advanced Saturday to the semifinals of the tennis singles state championships at Bates College in Lewiston.

The top four boys’ seeds – George Cutone, Matthew Morneault of Falmouth, Alberto Cutone of Kennebunk and Will Meyer of Camden Hills – all reached Monday’s semifinal round. George Cutone, a two-time champion, will face Meyer, while Morneault takes on Alberto Cutone.

In the girls’ draw, Mavor lost a game for the first time this season in a 6-0, 6-1 quarterfinal victory over Kira Gregor of Cony, but still had no trouble setting up a semifinal against Falmouth’s Sofia Kirtchev, the No. 4 seed. The other semifinal will be defending champion and No. 2 seed Coco Meserve of Brunswick against No. 6 seed Becca Naftoly of Berwick Academy. The No. 3 seed, Haylie Peacock of Gardiner, was upset by Brunswick’s Molly Tefft in the second round.
