UNC Tennis Star Fiona Crawley Speaks Out About Forfeiting U.S. Open Winnings

Posted Sep 7, 2023
Fiona Crawley's stay at the 2023 U.S. Open was short, but fruitful. The 21-year-old North Carolina senior lost in the first round in both singles and doubles, but was awarded significant financial compensation just for making the tournament. However, NCAA rules prevented her from accepting her award, forcing Crawley to give up $81,000 in earnings. (Sports Illustrated)
