The Kansas women’s tennis doubles team won in an underhanded fashion Thursday at the NCAA Division I Women’s Tennis Doubles Championship in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Oh, but don't worry, nothing nefarious happened.
KU juniors Nina Khmelnitckaia and Anastasia Rychagova beat Central Florida’s Ksenia Kuznetsova and Maria Martinez, 6-4, 5-7, 10-4. The victory came despite Rychagova having to serve underhanded.
In December, Rychagova broke a rib, which required five weeks of rest, and when she returned to the court, the worst seemed behind her. However, on March 16, she re-injured the rib during a match, so her coaches extended the recovery time.
