record. They will compete in the flight 1 doubles bracket.
Along with Blaskova and Kovalova, other returners Montse
Blasco Fernandez, Satjaporn Mahajaroenkul and Carla Venticinque all bring MVC
Individual Championship experience.
Newcomers Rebecca Pedrazzi, Masa Smic and Summer

will be playing in their first MVC Individual Championships.
The tournament consists of seven singles flights and three
doubles flights, with the first six singles flights containing eight players,
one from each competing school. The seventh singles flight contains 12
participants. All three doubles flights contain eight teams each, one from each
school. Play will start each day at 9 a.m.
