Both doubles teams have a chance at being selected to the main draw as reserves.
CARY, N.C. – Florida women’s tennis completed the qualifying rounds of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s All-American Championships on Tuesday in Cary, N.C.
Freshman Anastasia Sysoeva put up a fight in singles competition against Anika Yarlagadda of North Carolina. After falling in the opening frame, 6-4, Sysoeva responded with a dominant second set that she took with ease, 6-1. With a chance to advance on the line, both athletes gave impressive efforts in the third set, but it would be the Tar Heel who would hold on for the 7-6(5) victory.
In doubles play, Carly Briggs and Rachel Gailis battled against Jaeden Brown and Kari Miller of Michigan, but couldn’t overcome the duo, falling 8-5. Alicia Dudeney and Bente Spee also found themselves in a close match with Fresno State’s Yinglak Jittakot and Matilde Magrini. The Fresno State duo was able to hold on for an 8-6 victory, however.
