Caitlin Whoriskey, the No. 1 player in both singles and doubles as a junior last season for the University of Tennessee women's tennis team, earned All-America honors in doubles last season after advancing to the semifinals of the NCAA Doubles Championships and finishing the year ranked eighth with partner Natalie Pluskota.
A 21-year-old from East Sandwich, Mass., Whoriskey became the first Lady Vol in school history to be named to the USTA Summer Collegiate Team, an elite training program for the top American collegiate tennis players designed to provide them with valuable exposure to the USTA Pro Circuit in a team-oriented environment during the summer months. She has posted outstanding results on the USTA Pro Circuit this summer, with results that include reaching the singles and doubles finals at $10,000 St. Joseph, Mo., and, as a qualifier, reaching the doubles final and singles quarterfinals at $10,000 Hilton Head Island.
Caitlin took time from her busy schedule to answer some questions for USTA.com about her experience this summer, her goals for her senior year and the future and more.
