Former NC State Women’s Tennis player Diana Shnaider will be playing in the Gold Medal Match tomorrow for Women’s Doubles at 6am.
Shnaider and her partner Mira Andreeva, will be facing off against Italy’s Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini. She is competing as an Individual Neutral Athlete in Paris.
Prior to the 2024 Paris Olympics, no NC State Women’s Tennis player had gone on to be an Olympian.
Shnaider is the first.
She has already guaranteed herself a medal, by advancing to the Gold Medal match, making her the first former Wolfpack Tennis player to bring home a medal.
