Five other Rebels begin regional action Friday
BATON ROUGE, La. – After five members from the Ole Miss Women's Tennis squad earned berths in the ITA Southern Regional Main Draw, sophomore Grace Anne Jones looked to join them, seeking two wins Thursday at the LSU Tennis Complex.
Jones was victorious in her first competition of the day, defeating Carlotta Romito of McNeese State, grinding through an extra game first frame 7-5, and cruising in set 2 6-1. She was on the unfortunate end of a grueling three-setter in the Round of 32 after picking up the second set 7-6(4) and forcing a third, deciding set and dropping that in another tiebreaker, 7-6(3).
Doubles festivities begin at 9 a.m. Junior Sabina Machalova and senior Alexa Bortles, who possess a No. 17 doubles plaudit in the ITA Preseason Rankings, enter as the top seed. They are set to face Tulane's Lauren Gish and Daniela La Fuente. The senior duo of Tereza Janatova and Anna Vrbenska team up against Mississippi State's Sara Lizariturry and Meredith Roberts, and all four will also compete in Main Draw Singles later that afternoon.
Sophomore Isolde de Jong will also represent the Rebels in Main Draw action.
Regional doubles champions and regional singles champions and finalists qualify for the season-ending Oracle ITA National Fall Championships.
