Yang Wins Alternate Season Singles Title; Paape & Roth Earn Doubles Crown

LAKE GENEVA, Wis. – The alternate season State Girls Individual Tennis Tournament produced a singles and doubles champion in one division Friday at Lake Geneva Tennis Club and Badger High School.

Fourth-seeded Annalise Yang, a freshman from Madison La Follette, earned the singles title with a 6-3, 6-0 victory over second-seeded Lily Olson, also a freshman, of crosstown-rival Madison Memorial in the championship match. Yang has compiled a 10-1 record this season, and Olson lost for the first time this season to possess an 8-1 mark.

Yang advanced to the championship match by defeating junior Ava Dunsirn of Neenah, the top seed in the bracket, 2-6, 6-3(5). Dunsirn went on to finish third in the tournament, and freshman Olivia Minikel of Manitowoc Lincoln placed fourth. Freshman Netra Somasundaram of Middleton won the fifth-place match, and sophomore Sophia Fergus of De Pere placed sixth.

The second-seeded tandem of junior Sophia Paape and sophomore Shelby Roth of Neenah won the alternate season doubles championship with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over the fourth-seeded duo of seniors Tristyn Lueck and Audrey Oschsner of De Pere. Paape and Roth improved their record to 15-1 this season after Roth advanced to the second round with a different partner in 2019. Lueck and Oschsner fell to 15-3 this season after qualifying in 2019 and falling in their first-round match.

The third-seeded team of seniors Karsen Dettman and Noor Rajpal of Middleton placed third, winning their third-place match against senior Jessica Jiang and freshman Sophia Jiang of Madison Memorial. The top-seeded tandem of senior Grace Welhouse and freshman Alex Madjun finished fifth, and seniors Elsie Steimle and Kendra Peterson of Manitowoc Lincoln placed sixth.
