Ivy and Rjanikov will play Mike Floerchinger (Princeton, Minn.) and Kim Wapola (St. Paul, Minn.) in a tiebreaker at 8 tonight.

In the other tiebreaker game, defending champions Brady and Cristin Clark (both of Lynnwood, Wash.) will play Colorado's Darrick Kizlyk and Dena Rosenberry. The winners of the tiebreakers will complete the field of six teams advancing.
