Where are they now?
Lucy Kovalova, women's tennis (2011-15)
Kovalova ended her college tennis career and wanted to stay active. She stayed in the family of racquet sports with pickleball.
"It's a way for me to stay competitive," she said. "I enjoy the pickleball culture, because it's not as cutthroat as tennis culture. I enjoy traveling to cool places and being with great people."
She also won right from the start and continued winning, often with Wichitan Matt Wright, who played tennis at Michigan, in mixed doubles. She counts victories in the singles, doubles and mixed doubles (with Wright) in USA Pickleball National Championships in 2018 as her highlight.
