Both the SEC and the ACC placed two doubles teams in the top five of the ITA Division I Women’s Preseason Doubles Rankings. However, the top spot was awarded to Oklahoma’s Corley sister duo. Ivana and Carmen Corley combined last season for a 17-2 dual match record and a 6-0 record against ranked opponents. They were ranked as high as the No. 11 doubles team in the country last season — an OU program-best ranking.
Duke’s Chloe Beck and Karolina Berankova claim the No. 2 spot in the preseason rankings. Last season, the duo was named ITA Doubles All-Americans for the first time in their careers. In the NCAA Doubles Championship, they reached the Round of 32. They are joined in the top five by fellow ACC student-athletes Natasha Subhash and Sofia Munera of Virginia. The Cavaliers pair reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship before falling to eventual champions Scotty/Jones of UNC.
Representing the SEC in the top five are Texas A&M’s Tatiana Makarova/Jayci Goldsmith and Tennessee’s Esther Adeshina/Daria Kuczer. The Aggie tandem claim the No. 3 spot in the preseason rankings after reaching the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship. The senior-sophomore team of Kuczer and Adeshina round out the top five of the rankings. They finished their first season playing together by downing Subhash and Munera in dominant fashion.
The ITA Division I Women’s Preseason Singles Rankings and ITA Division I Women’s Newcomers were also released Tuesday.
