Lady Raider Tennis Hosts Second Tournament of Fall Season
October 01, 2020 | Women's Tennis
LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech Lady Raider tennis team continues its fall season this weekend as it hosts the West Texas Pro Tennis October Open.
Â
The tournament begins on Friday, Oct. 2 and runs through Sunday, Oct. 4 at Burgess Rushing Tennis Center.
Â
The event, like the West Texas September Open last month, is part of the Universal Tennis Rating Open Series. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in an effort to maintain social distancing, the event will feature only singles for both men's and women's draws.
Â
Nell Miller, Olivia Peet and Kaitlin Staines each competed unattached at the West Texas September Open last month. Miller advanced to the round of 16 at the event with a win over Reya Coe and picked up three wins overall on the weekend. An All-American transfer from Tennessee, Staines advanced to the round of 16 at the event as well. Peet bounced back from a tough first round loss to advance to the back draw semifinals.
Â
Camryn Stepp and Olivia Mikkelson will also compete at the event after turning in strong efforts in their Lady Raider debuts last month.
Â
Lady Raider fans will also get their first look at freshman Kailey Evans, who signed with Texas Tech last spring. A blue chip recruit from Ennis, Texas, Evans has been ranked as high as No. 13 nationally in the class of 2020 by TennisRecruiting.net.
