Marilyn and I are in New York at the U.S. Open. It’s so exciting to be here to support our Laurel Springs students and alumni as they compete in this exciting tennis competition. So far we have good news to report!

Asia Muhammad just won her second round in Girls’ Singles 16 years against Romana Tabakova!

 

Yesterday Asia Muhammad pulled out a nice 6-3, 6-1 win over No. 14 seed Johanna Konta of Austria. “It’s always tough getting through the first round,” said Muhammad, a 17-year-old from Las Vegas who also got a wild card into the main draw of the women’s tournament where she lost in the first round. “I think if I keep playing like this I can go pretty far.”

 

From U.S. Open website:
Just before the US Open, Las Vegas' Asia Muhammad announced she would forgo her dream to play college tennis at USC and make the move into professional tennis, much like her doubles partner at the Open, Sam Querrey, did just two years ago. She will be managed by Andre Agassi’s agent Perry Rogers’ company Prism and trained by Agassi’s longtime friend Gil Reyes.
