FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU women's tennis juniors Seda Arantekin and Caroline Wegner will begin competition at the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y., on Thursday afternoon.
The duo, who earned an at-large bid to the championships, have a 7-1 record so far this fall and won the OU Invite and advanced to the semifinals of the USTA/ITA Texas Regional Championships. The pair also becomes the first women's participants from TCU since 2011 and the seventh doubles team in program history to make the indoor championships.
