Virginia tennis stars senior Danielle Collins claimed a national title Sunday at the Riviera Tennis Club in Pacific Palisades, California while junior Thai-Son Kwiatkowski and senior Mac Styslinger claimed national titles Monday at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Collins defeated Miami sophomore Sinead Lohan, 6-2, 6-1, to win the singles title at the Riviera/ITA Women’s All-American Championships, while Kwiatkowski steamrolled Tulane senior Dominik Koepfer to grab the singles crown Monday at the ITA Men’s All-American Championships.
Kwiatkowski also teamed up with Styslinger for the men’s doubles title. The Virginia duo topped North Carolina senior Brett Clark and sophomore Robert Kelly in the final, edging the Tar Heel pairing in a 10-point tiebreaker. Kwiatkowski is just the fourth men’s player — and the first since 2009 — to win both the singles and doubles titles at the ITA All-American in the same year.
Collins’ victory gave her two national singles titles in two tries this fall. The 2014 NCAA women’s singles champion also won the Oracle/ITA Masters Tournament held last month in Malibu, California.
Additionally, Kwiatkowski and Styslinger’s victories gave Virginia a clean sweep of the men’s tournament — a feat accomplished just six times in event history. The Cavaliers previously swept the ITA Men’s All-American in 2010.
Senior Julia Elbaba made the singles consolation final on the women’s side, falling to Mississippi State junior Jasmine Lee.
