I think it's safe to say this doubles title was unexpected. But it obviously bodes well for our team going forward in this 2024-25 season. In the first ITA rankings of the season that were released about a month ago, our highest ranked doubles pair was Broadfoot and Zyryanova at #33 in the country, and the pair of Zampardo and Mia Slama was ranked #38. Then Zyryanova is injured and so Zampardo and Broadfoot paired up for this tournament.

I noticed at the match today that Zyryanova was in attendance and not utilizing one of those "knee scooters" that you rest your injured leg on and roll around on. She was walking around in an air cast.

DOMINANCE 🏆

NC State women's tennis wrapped up the ITA All-American Championship in style, as Gabriella Broadfoot and Maddy Zampardo won the main draw women's doubles championship. Broadfoot and Zampardo automatically earn ITA All-American honors for their victory, becoming the ninth and 10th ITA All-Americans in NC State women's tennis history.

The duo picked up seven wins in seven days on their way to win the title, all against ranked pairs, which wrapped up with a 6-4, 6-4 win over No. 15 Kimmi Hance and Elise Wagle from UCLA on Sunday.

After qualifying for main draw doubles on Tuesday, Broadfoot and Zampardo defeated No. 36 Emma Charney and Imogen Haddad (USC) 6-3, 4-6 (10-4) in the first round. The tandem followed up that victory with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over Oklahoma State's Marcela Lopez and Gracie Epps.

Broadfoot and Zampardo then made it to the quarterfinals to play for one of four spots to the NCAA Doubles Championship in Waco in November. The duo came up with a come-from-behind victory over Stanford's No. 19 Alexis Blokhina and Connie Ma, 4-6, 6-4 (10-3). That victory not only punched the duo's ticket to the NCAA Doubles Championship, but sent them to the semifinals of the ITA All-American. Broadfoot and Zampardo then sailed to a 7-5, 7-5 win over USC's Lily Fairclough and Grace Piper, ranked No. 20, to punch their ticket to the final.

In the final, Broadfoot and Zampardo squared up against the No. 15 Hance and Wagle of UCLA. Broadfoot and Zampardo closed out the first set of the match strong, 6-4, and used that momentum to go up early in set two and put a late run by UCLA at bay. The tandem won the second set, 6-4, on their way to the title.

Gabia Paskauskas was close to keeping her streak rolling after winning five matches in four days going into the main draw. She fell to Virginia's Annabelle Xu in three sets (7-6 [7-5], 2-6, 2-6) in the first round. Paskauskas would then move on through the consolation after Texas' Ashton Bowers withdrew, but the freshman would then lose to Bianca Fernandez of Texas, 6-1, 6-0.
