Marianne Bretschneider Courtney Quotations

I think Courtney Owens, for never playing a tennis match a day in her life other than what she's played in practice, has done really well.

Courtney was right we really do need to work on ball placement. For a while when I talked to my kids my big thing was I want you to spend these next two games working on letting them make the mistakes. I do want them to work on control and placement. It just comes down to what they utilize what they do in practice and remembering and not fiddle-farting around and laughing and giggling. I want them to really focus and know what they can take into a match. I want them to have game plans, I want them to know what they are going to do when they go into a match.

Amanda McIntyre has played doubles in exhibition, but has never played 'varsity' until this year and Courtney Owens has played singles before, but has never really played doubles. Those two are really playing well together. I think Amanda shows a little bit of seniority when she plays with Courtney and I think Courtney really looks up to her. They still have some kinks to work out but they are learning.

I know right now Courtney is frustrated. I will say flat out I thought Courtney was the better player. Courtney needs to work on better shot selection. Next year at this time when Courtney plays that chick it will be 6-0, 6-0.

I'm proud of Courtney Owens, especially since she just got into the sport six months ago.

I came down to see Courtney and she was up 5-0 in the second set. You can't ask anything more of your girls than that.
