Dear Wonderful Fans,
Our fall season has officially come to an end and I’d just like to thank-you all so much for the support throughout the semester. Since our last tournament, we have taken some time to reflect on the positives and negatives of the semester and the things that we need to work on going into the spring season.
In my view, we have an amazing group of girls who have grown so much closer since the beginning of the year. Having four new freshmen on a team can always pose some difficulties with team dynamics but we have been really fortunate to have amazing personalities that have taken the idea of “team” to heart and have proven to have the potential to become true team players.
Having said that, I think that we will grow a lot closer as we move into dual match season. The freshmen have just come in off the junior and pro circuits where the main focus has been on themselves. However, as the upperclassmen already know, college tennis is all about the team and dual match season will help the freshmen realize this very soon.
In the next couple of weeks leading up to Christmas break, I will post video interviews of each of the freshmen so that you can hear their thoughts of their first semester at Duke as well as their goals going into season:

Once again, thanks for the support and have a happy Thanksgiving!
GO DUKE!
Yours in tennis,
Monica Gorny and the rest of DWT
