THE ROCKHILL REPORT

"We did what we had to do today", said Rockhill. "I am really happy for Vera, Alba and Ayesha. They played very good tennis and maintained their focus throughout their matches. We will likely need to be sharper tomorrow, but I have a feeling we will be ready for the challenge against Daemen."

UP NEXT
