With that, Connie Ma and Alexandra Yepifanova qualify for ITA Fall Nationals, held November 4-7 in San Diego. One more Cardinal player will complete the trio heading to San Diego, but will it be Ma's partner or Yepifanova's? My money would be on Blake/Ma to take the doubles final here, but doubles chemistry and momentum is a tricky thing, and these partnerships are still in their infancy, if they even stick once the season starts.

I wonder if they’ll play doubles this afternoon but give Yepifanova and Ma a day before the singles final. There’s no reason you have to play the final today. Let them rest, go to class, and we can have a higher-quality match tomorrow. That said, they have the chair umpire lined up, and they’ve probably already arranged to miss class, so we might see more singles today.
