THE FLATS – Georgia Tech’s Kylie Bilchev and Carol Lee will represent women’s tennis at the 2023 NCAA Division I Women’s Tennis Championships as the subcommittee announced Tuesday afternoon the 64 singles players and 32 doubles teams selected to compete in individuals. Bilchev and Lee both earned selections into the singles draw.
The singles and doubles competition will take place May 22-27 in Lake Nona, Fla., at the USTA National Campus after the conclusion of the team championship, which runs May 17-20.
Leading Georgia Tech from the top singles position all season, Lee has compiled a 25-10 overall record, including a 16-6 dual mark.

The Yellow Jacket has produced an 18-4 dual record at the No. 2 singles position this season and boasts a 25-8 overall mark. Currently ranked No. 27 in the latest ITA rankings, Bilchev has climbed as high as No. 23 earlier this season, marking a career-best for the sophomore.
