Doubles partners Tamara Arnold and Bunyawi Thamchaiwat had been teammates for four weeks when they played the first match together.
At the start of December, Arnold was finishing her last semester at Tyler Community College in Tyler, Texas, while Thamchaiwat was in Thailand competing in a professional tournament. A month later, as roommates and doubles partners on the Oklahoma State women's tennis team, they scored a victory together in their debut match together against a duo from No. 1 Duke in the Bahamas.
Arnold, who's from Switzerland, said the two clicked the first day they met, thanks to what she inherited from her mother.
