Different days brought different results for the ASU women’s tennis team at the start of the spring season.

After two months off, the No. 30 Sun Devils faded quickly despite a strong start at the Freeman Memorial Championships in Las Vegas over the weekend.

Four Sun Devils advanced to the second round in the singles bracket Friday, but none were able to make it to the following round.

Junior Kelcy McKenna was upset by North Carolina senior Sophie Grabinski (5-7, 7-6, 7-6), senior Nadia Abdala fell to No. 1-seeded Stanford freshman Mallory Burdette (6-0, 6-3), junior Ashlee Brown lost to Stanford freshman and eventual tournament champion Stacey Tan (6-4, 6-1) and junior Micaela Hein took Florida senior Anastasia Revzina to three sets before losing 7-6, 2-6, 6-1.

Coach Sheila McInerney said the team played well on Friday, but that Sunday’s play was somewhat of a disappointment, and that they weren’t in tournament shape.

“We didn’t compete the way we could’ve or should’ve,” McInerney said. “The wear and tear of the weekend caught up with them.”

Hein was unable to finish her last singles match on Sunday when she went down with a knee injury. The knee will be looked at throughout the week to see if she can be ready for this weekends duals.

“Hopefully, we can catch it early and she gets some treatment,” McInerney said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t come out of this thing quite as unscathed as you’d like to.”

The ASU doubles teams fared better in Las Vegas, with all three tandems advancing on Friday.

The newest addition to the Sun Devils, freshman Hannah James, paired up with McKenna in one of the most intense matches of the weekend.

The duo faced off against Burdette and Tan of Stanford in Saturday’s quarterfinals but lost 9-8 to the eventual tournament champions.

“The Stanford team was excellent,” McInerney said. “It was real high-quality.”

James, who is from Birmingham, Great Britain, played in the Wimbledon Junior circuit this past summer and has been ranked as high as No. 36 by the International Tennis Federation. McInerney said James would help the team as the dual season gets underway.

“She’s a good player and will definitely be in the lineup,” McInerney said. “It’s a definite positive getting her in January.”

Hein teamed up with Abdala and Brown paired up with sophomore Sianna Simmons to help give the Sun Devils an overall doubles record of 5-4 at the tournament.

Those two doubles teams also dropped matches on Saturday. Hein and Abdala fell to UF’s tandem of Revzina and senior Merrit Boonstra 9-7, Simmons and Brown lost to UCLA’s pair of junior Maya Johansson and freshman Stephanie Hoffpauir.

Also on Saturday, McKenna picked up a 6-1, 6-1 sweep against UNLV junior Anna Maskaljun but was the only Sun Devil to come out on the winning end.

Abdala fell to UCLA freshman Pamela Montez 6-3, 6-3, while Brown dropped a 6-2, 6-2 decision to sophomore Claire Bartlett of UF. Simmons lost her match to Hoffpauir 6-0, 6-2, and ASU senior Amanda Marton fell to UNLV sophomore Rumyana Terzieva.

In Sunday’s singles matches, Abdala defeated UNLV junior Adrienn Hidvegi 6-1, 2-6, 5-1, retired, but McKenna fell to Revzina 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. James dropped her match to UNLV junior Jana Albers when she r

etired after the second set, and Simmons lost to UNLV freshman Nives Pavlovic in three sets, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6.

In doubles, ASU earned two victories on Sunday. McKenna and James defeated UCLA’s tandem of Montez and sophomore Carling Seguso 8-3, and Hein and Abdala beat sophomore Veronica Li and freshman Natalie Dillon of Stanford by the same score.

Simmons and Brown fell to UNLV’s Alisa Razina (senior) and Anna Maskaljun (junior) 8-3 on Sunday.

The tournament included some of the top teams from across the country, with five of the eight teams ranked 18th in the nation or higher.
