10/11/2024 | Women's Tennis
AUBURN, Ala. – Ole Miss women's tennis shined in the main doubles and singles draw on day one of the ITA Southern Regional on Friday.
The Rebels hit the ground running on day one, with all three doubles pairs advancing to the Sweet 16.
New pairing Lucie Petruzelova and Brooklyn Olson earned their first win against Tulane's duo, 8-2. Emma Kette and Rachel Krzyzak quickly followed suit with an 8-5 victory on their court. To round out the doubles dream start, Ludmilla Kareiosová and Anaelle Leclercq-Ficher eclipsed an 8-2 score over South Alabama.
Petruzelova started the singles reign off strong, after a tough 7-5, 6-1 finish. The senior transfer is just six away from the golden 75 in overall career singles victories. She moves on to the top 32 to face off Tulane's Brooke Theis.
After going 2-0 at the Wahoowa Invitational, Kareisova grabbed her 40th career singles win against South Alabama's Delien Kleinhans in straight sets. The star senior will advance to take on Eeva Ristola from UAB, in the next round.
Kette outperformed Mississippi State's Maria Rizzolo in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4. She will take on Stanislava Bobrovnikova in the second round.
No stranger to the heat, Leclercq-Ficher battled back for a third set victory. The senior won the first set but dropped the next against Mackenzie White. After a long dual, Ole Miss came out on top after Lelercq-Ficher clutched the 2-point advantage in a final score of 6-2, 4-6, 7-5.
Krzyzak fell short after a tough three set battle to the finish against her opponent, 6-7, 4-6, 0-6.
The three Rebel doubles teams advancing to the Sweet 16 are back at it Saturday, starting at 9 a.m. CT. Then, the four Rebels will compete in the second round of main draw, starting at 10:30 a.m. CT.
