Blue Devils Remain Unbeaten With 4-0 Win Over Charlotte
1/18/2024 7:40:00 PM | Women's Tennis
DURHAM – The 15th-ranked Duke women's tennis team went a perfect 2-0 Thursday as the Blue Devils closed the evening with a 4-0 victory over Charlotte at the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center.
The win for Duke marked the 100th inside Sheffield since the 2008 campaign. Earlier in the day, Duke registered a 7-0 win over NC Central and the Blue Devils now move to 3-0 on the year. Charlotte dropped to 2-1 on the season.
How It Happened
• For the third straight match, the Blue Devils clinched the doubles point with victories on courts two and three.
• On court two, Emma Jackson and Ellie Coleman didn't lose a game en route to winning, 6-0, against Emma Wilkins and Lucie Petruzelova.
• Duke was able to clinch the point with a win on court three as Iuliia Bryzgalova and Brianna Shvets posted a 6-2 win over Sara Suchankova and Shona Nakano. In the first game, the Blue Devils won a deuce point to take a 1-0 then led 3-0. After dropping two games, Bryzgalova and Shvets were able to clinch the point.
• On court one, Duke's Shavit Kimchi and Karolina Berankova were tied, 4-4, against Ares Teixido Garcia and Lucia Quiterio when the doubles point was clinched.
• Codd, a sophomore from Carlsbad, Calif., continued her solid play in singles on court four. After falling in the first game to Suchankova, Codd won three straight to take a 3-1 advantage. She dropped one more game, before winning three consecutive to take the first set, 6-2. In the second set, Codd jumped out to a 5-0 lead and then won 6-1.
• With Duke leading 2-0, 65th-ranked Kimchi put a third point on the board with a 6-4, 6-3 victory on court one against 98th-ranked Quiterio. Kimchi, who is from Israel, fell behind 0-2 in the first set, but battled back to even the match at 3-3, before finishing the first set winning, 6-4. In the second set, Kimchi led 4-0 and 5-2, while closing the match winning 6-3. Kimchi's final swing of the racquet came on an ace to secure the win.
• Graduate student Brianna Shvets, who is ranked No. 78, had an impressive first set against Shona Nakano winning 6-0. In the second set, Nakano went ahead 5-3, but Shvets came back to win 7-5 and clinched the Duke victory.
Notes
• Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth now owns 599 victories and is one away from reaching 600 for his 29-year career. Ashworth will become the seventh NCAA Division I women's coach to net 600 career wins.
• The Blue Devils won their 17th consecutive home match inside Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center and moved to 100-3 all-time in the building.
• Sophomore Katie Codd improved to 5-0 in dual match play over her Duke career and 10-3 on the season.
• Brianna Shvets improved to 89-35 overall and 50-13 in dual match singles action over her career.
• Rookie Shavit Kimchi won her second match of the day to improve to 5-3 on the year. She totaled her first singles win at the No. 1 slot in her short career.
Quotes
• "It was really nice [to get the win]. I didn't know what to expect at the beginning of the day. It was my first time playing a doubleheader at Duke so I was very nervous at the beginning, but the team and coaches really pushed me on the court and I am so happy we got those wins. We supported each other, we were there for each other and I am so happy with the result." - Duke freshman Shavit Kimchi
