DURHAM, N.C. (September 11) - The preseason edition of the WingspanBank.com Collegiate
Tennis Rankings were released on Monday by the Intercollegiate Tennis
Association (ITA) and the Duke women's tennis team boasts five singles
players and three doubles teams ranked.
In the individual rankings, senior All-America selection Megan Miller (Palm
City, Fla.) is ranked No. 10, senior All-ACC pick Kathy Sell (Moorestown,
N.J.) is No. 23, freshman Ansley Cargill (Atlanta, Ga.) is tied at No. 59,
sophomore Katie Granson (Bethlehem, Pa.) is No. 79, and freshman Amanda
Johnson (Bettendorf, Iowa) is No. 89.
At the top of the doubles rankings is Ipek Senoglu/Paola Palencia of
Pepperdine and Martina Ondrejkova/Iva Puflerova of South Alabama. The team
rankings will not be released till January of 2001.

Cargill, which played in the U.S. Open and French Open in 2000, is the second-highest freshman ranked behind Lauren Barnikow of Stanford (No. 57). At the top of the singles rankings is Laura Granville of Stanford followed by Aarthi Venkatesan (Georgia), Sara Walker (UCLA), Kristina Kraszewski (Washington), and Whitney Laiho (Florida).
Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth feels like his 2000-01 team will have the three best combined doubles teams he has ever had at Duke. It seems like the preseason rankings are thinking the same way as the Blue Devils have all three teams ranked in the top 50. The duo of Sell/Granson is ranked No. 25, Miller/Hillary Adams is No. 35, and the freshmen duo of Cargill/Johnson is No. 43.

The Blue Devils finished the 1999-00 season with a 23-6 record and finished the season ranked No. 7. Duke lost only two letterwinners off of its team, which advanced to the final 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
