CARY, N.C. – Wake Forest women’s tennis had six of its players compete in the 2022 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-American Championships’ pre-qualifying and qualifying rounds, as the opening stages officially wrapped on Tuesday (Oct. 4).
Three Demon Deacon individuals, along with a doubles pairing, all earned wins during the first day of pre-qualifying action.
On Wednesday (Oct. 5), the event’s main draw will unfold, featuring Anna Brylin and Brooke Killingsworth in doubles. The duo, which slid in at No. 3 in the ITA’s preseason doubles rankings, will look to capture another All-American championship after becoming the first pair in program history to notch such a feat a year ago.
