The Women's Tennis Season has kicked off with ITA All-American Championships this week. I was hoping that Colorado Tree would provide us with an in depth look at the tournament - and perhaps they'll show up to dazzle us with their knowledge.
Stanford has a quartet that are kicking off in the Qualifying for the Main Draw - led by #58 Caroline Driscoll, #83 Monika Ekstrand, #90 Alyssa Ahn, #98 Tianmei Wang. Valerie Glozman is presumably in the main draw. The first round of qualifying is under way, and the results are:
Alyssa Ahn (17) def. #117 Campbell Ricci (Tulane) 6-4 6-4
Caroline Driscoll (3) def. #110 Patricija Paukstyte (Georgia) 6-1 6-0
Tianmei Wang def. #109 Charlotte Keitel (San Diego) 6-3 7-6(1)
Monika Ekstrand def. #119 Kira Matushkina (Old Dominion) 7-6(7) 7-6(4)
I think the next round sees....us face mostly unranked foes - so hopefully we keep marching. On paper, these all look like winnable matches, but early season has a way of being dangerous - and Maralgoo Cogsomjav just trounced #56 Gianna Oboniye 6-4 6-1 - so Ahn has a tough match ahead.
Alyssa Ahn v. Maralgoo Chogsomjav (Kansas State)
Caroline Driscoll vs. Emma Kamper (Utah)
Wang vs. Prisca Abbas (UNC Charlotte)
Monika Ekstrand vs. Oliwia Orlinska (Maryland)
As for doubles, it looks like we don't have an entry in the doubles for All-Americans - which is an oddity. We'll have to wait and see how the main draw shakes out to see if there's any Stanford interest in there.
