STARKEY ON OLSHANSKAYA:
“Kristina, now in her junior year, has done nothing but improve since she got here. She has had some huge wins on the national level throughout her career. Her groundstrokes were rock-solid to begin with, but she has really improved her serve, as well as her volleys. The addition of a few new skills and a commitment to playing aggressive, forward-moving tennis will allow Kristina to enjoy a successful junior season.”
