The City Section girls tennis playoffs began Monday and Palisades High’s team was nowhere to be found. That’s because the top-seeded Dolphins had a first-round bye and did not have to play until Wednesday’s quarterfinal round (results unavailable at press time) in the 12-team championship bracket. ‘We’ll see how the draw plays out,’ Pali Head Coach Bud Kling said. ‘We have a couple of players sick right now so we may not be at full strength for our first match.’ Palisades (15-2), the defending City champion, hosted No. 8-seeded Sylmar, which beat ninth-seeded Cleveland 5-2 in the first round. If the Dolphins were victorious yesterday, they will meet the winner of No. 4-seeded Marshall and No. 5 Granada Hills next Monday in the semifinals at 1 p.m. at Balboa Tennis Center in Encino. The finals are next Friday at 1 p.m.
