There aren't 10 players better than Alexis. She has the deep-down desire to turn pro and, without a doubt, she has the potential to make money. |
They haven't beaten us in a while, but they'll still come at us like it's their big match of the year, and we've got to be ready for that. |
They're young, but they're very good. They have some players at the top of their lineup that have beaten us in the past, so it's going to be a formidable challenge for us, no question about it. |
This is about as good as I've seen us this season. And it's coming at the right time. |
To me, that just speaks volumes. That tells you what they're trying to do and trying to achieve, and that they have goals and expectations they're trying to meet. |
We beat a very good Vanderbilt team even though we didn't play great (on Friday) at some spots, but everyone did a good job of fighting. We didn't come out ready to play in doubles, but as a team we really make playing here a true home-court advantage. |
We need to be ready to battle. We beat a good South Carolina team in under 2 hours. We can't expect to do that (today). We've got to be ready mentally to play longer if that's what it takes. |
We've all been around the block enough to know that you don't win championships in January or February. You win them in April and May. This team has worked hard all year long to be the best now. Right now we're playing about as well as we can. |
Without a doubt, if you want to win an NCAA title, you have to play good doubles. At times this year, we have been good in doubles, other times we haven't. We have to be more consistent. |
You'd like to hit that stride at the end of the season. Now is a good time to play good tennis, because now is when it really matters. |
