FOREST HILLS, N.Y. - In a year already littered with memorable moments, Jamie Loeb wouldn't mind adding another highlight to 2015.
On Tuesday, Loeb, 20, the former North Carolina standout and 2015 NCAA Division I Singles National Champion, will step onto the historic hardcourts at the U.S. Open for the first time as a professional tennis player.
Her opening round assignment? Caroline Wozniacki, the former world No. 1 player, No. 4 seed in the 2015 U.S. Open Women's draw and U.S. Open runner-up in 2009 and 2014.
"I'm really excited," Loeb said on Friday at the West Side Tennis Club, where she was on hand to receive her second straight ITA Collegiate All-Star award.
