DURHAM, N.C.-Duke University senior Elizabeth Plotkin and sophomore Monica Gorny continue their fall tennis season this weekend in the prequalifying round of the 2009 Riviera/ITA All-American Championships. The pair will play in both singles and doubles prequalifying rounds in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
An athlete must win three rounds to advance to the qualifying round in singles, where she would need to win three more rounds to earn a spot in the main draw. In doubles action, the pair also must win three matches to move into the qualifying bracket.
The Blue Devil tandem will open the weekend with doubles play at 12:15 p.m. (ET) on Oct. 3. Playing together for the first time this season, they are seeded eighth overall and will battle Clarisse Baca and Katrina Zheltova of Sacramento State University in the opening match.
Plotkin is coming off of a 3-1 weekend in singles play at the Wake Forest Fall Invitational. Playing competitively for the first time in nearly two years, she defeated the No. 42-ranked player in her opening match. Plotkin will kick off singles play at 2 p.m. (ET), on Oct. 3 against Megan Alexander of TCU.
In her first tournament as a Blue Devil, Gorny registered a 3-1 singles mark at Wake Forest. She won her opening two matches and dropped just two sets in her four matches. Gorny will take on Sarah Landsman of Arizona in her opening singles match.
Prequalifying play concludes on Oct 4 at 5 p.m. (ET).
