UNC tennis star Fiona Crawley recounts unlikely run at U.S. Open: "I felt like a kid"
Posted Sep 18, 2023
Fiona Crawley had to change her flight and gear up quickly to play against professionals in the U.S. Open a week earlier than expected. These players were older, ranked higher, and did not have schoolwork to keep up with like Crawley, an English and Comparative Literature major. "We were playing women," Crawley said. "I felt like a kid, like, 100 percent."
