Mays, Miller to Compete for Pro Doubles Title in Norman
December 06, 2019 | Women's Tennis
NORMAN, Okla. – Texas Tech women's tennis players Lisa Mays and Nell Miller will compete for a pro doubles title on Saturday at the Norman Open, after winning their semifinal match in straight sets Friday afternoon.
Â
Mays and Miller moved to 3-0 on the week with their 6-2, 7-5 victory in the tournament semifinals over Emerald Able and Sophie Abrams on Friday. That win followed up a pair of three-set wins to open the week—one over the second-seeded tandem of Lorraine Guillermo and Kennedy Shaffer on Tuesday and another over Keisha Clousing and Emma Davis on Thursday in the quarterfinals.
Â
The two Lady Raiders will match up with Carmen Corley and Ivana Corley. It will be a Big 12 final, as Ivana Corley is on the tennis roster at Oklahoma.
Â
Miller also saw impressive success on the singles side at the tournament, drawing a pair of wins earlier in the week in qualifying to advance to the tournament's main draw. Miller would go on to knock off Muskan Mahajan, 6-3, 6-4, in the first round of main draw play, but came up short to the top seed Pamela Montez in the second round.
Â
If Mays and Miller are able to get the win on Saturday, it would mark the first career pro doubles title for both.
