MOBILE, Ala. – After helping the University of South Alabama women's tennis program begin the spring campaign with a pair of victories last weekend, junior Alina Zolotareva sat down to record this week's edition of "Inside JagNation."
In this episode of the weekly podcast of Jaguar Athletics, Zolotareva discusses playing dual matches compared to participating in individual tournaments in the fall, how she prepares for a match, her strengths on the court and what she does when she is playing well, and her success in doubles thus far this season with freshman teammate Yu Fujioka. She also talks about her expectations upon arriving on campus, whether or not she had any difficulty joining the team in the middle of the season, and what she has improved the most over the last two years.
