Time off has been rare for the University of Alabama women’s doubles team of Maya Jansen and Erin Routliffe.
Their results, though, have been indicative of a duo that doesn’t rest much.
Jansen and Routliffe, who won the NCAA women’s doubles championship the past two seasons, enjoyed good finishes this weekend at the Tennessee Valley Open Championships at Manker Patten Tennis Club. They combined to defeat the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga tandem of Samantha Caswell and Kayla Jones in straight sets in the women’s open doubles final Sunday, and Jansen defeated her doubles partner 6-4, 7-6 to win the open singles title.
She walked out with a final purse of $1,650, while Routliffe made $900.
University of Georgia All-American Nathan Pasha won 6-3, 6-2 against Maxx Lipman – he’ll be a junior at Florida this school year – for the open singles title, winning $3,000.
