Chen won eight of her first 10 matches this season, her third straight year playing first singles. “May is one of the hardest ball strikers in the league,” shared coach Lyn Calkins. “She sets up points with her deep topspin groundstrokes. In the past year, she has become more of a patient and versatile player, coming to the net to volley to finish off points. She is skilled at analyzing her strengths and weaknesses during a match, as well as her opponent’s.” Calkins also credited Chen for demonstrating “excellent sportsmanship on the court.”
