Sasha Korashvili glances at her cell phone and marvels.

The screen is covered in message notifications. Some are texts. Others are from social media. They keep coming, pinging her phone at all hours of the day and night, and it’s been that way for more than a week.

“Everyone is messaging me,” she said. “Like a hundred people or maybe more like 200 people.”

She’s heard from tennis teammates at OU and tennis rivals from other schools. There have been friends and acquaintances and even strangers who have reached out to her.

Their message?

Stay strong, Sasha.
