Coach Thornqvist Recapped the Gators Offseason, Previewed Upcoming Riviera/ITA All-American Championships
University of
Florida head coach Roland Thornqvist addressed the media Monday morning
as part of the Gators' All-Sports Media Day.
Thornqvist said
that after training for four weeks, he is ready to see how the team
performs against good competition at the ITA All-American Championships
in California. Thornqvist also discussed the improvement from the
freshman to sophomore year-jump of Olivia Janowicz, Alex Cercone and
Sofie Oyen. He also said that even though the team won a national title
last year, it is looking forward to this year with new goals and making
sure it doesn't get satisfied with what it did last year.
This
week, the majority of the team will be at the 2011 Riviera/ITA
All-American Championships held at the Riviera Tennis Center in Pacific
Palisades, Calif. This national event includes the top singles and
doubles players in the country and is considered the first leg of the
collegiate Grand Slam. The qualifying singles and doubles draws will be
contested Oct. 4-5, with main draw action taking place Oct. 6-9.
