Girls tennis preview: Top 5 players to watch, top 10 team rankings

Orange County girls tennis preview 2018

TOP 5 PLAYERS

Cami Brown, University, Jr.

Brown broke through last season by sweeping her singles matches against eventual champion Corona del Mar in the CIF-SS Division 1 team final.

Kristina Evloeva, Corona del Mar, Sr.

Evloeva could emerge as the No. 1 singles player for the defending Division 1 champion, which sent county player of the year Danielle Willson to USC.

Janie Marcus, Corona del Mar, Sr.

Marcus is an impact newcomer who studied online last year.

Courtney Swift, Dana Hills, Sr.

The recent Air Force commit played hard court and clay court girls nationals over the summer.

Michelle Zell, Foothill, Jr.

The reigning Crestview League MVP could challenge Brown as the top junior in the county but don’t forget about Laguna Beach’s Ella Pachl.

The reigning CIF-SS Division 1 champion moves to the Sunset League but expect another powerhouse team. Senior Roxy MacKenzie is another player to watch.
