Pat’s Players: Update on Raluca Olaru and Kayla Rizzolo
Mar 30th, 2007 by Taryn Reppert
Big news for two players Pat has been working with:
- Professional tennis player Raluca Olaru has been making news and great strides in her tennis career. Before coming down for a Personal Etcheberry Experience last fall, this 17 year old Romanian was ranked 311 in the world and now in 2007 she is ranked 167. In her last tournament, the Memphis 2007 Open in Tennessee, she won six rounds starting all the way from the Qualifying draw and made it all the way to the semi-finals, where she lost in a tough 3-6, 2-6 match against Venus Williams. We wish Raluca good luck in all of her upcoming tournaments!
- Congratulations to Kayla Rizzolo (pictured below), one of Pat’s junior players and a featured athlete on The Etcheberry Experience Tennis DVDs. At the young age of 14, Kayla has been signed with Head to help sponsor her on her pursuit of turning pro!
