TEMPE – The Sun Devil women's tennis team has made its first signing of the season with Greek international Marianna Argyrokastriti set to join Sheila McInerney's squad in 2020.
Â
"We are thrilled to have Marianna join our program next August," associate head coach Matt Langley said. "First and foremost, she is an incredible person that will be a great team player and she comes from a terrific family and is a high character individual.
Â
"Marianna is a talented left-hander that is passionate about developing her game and we feel that she has a tremendous upside," Langley said. "She will definitely make an immediate impact to our program in both singles and doubles".Â
Â
Although born in and representing Greece on the international stage, Argyrokastriti trained in Belgium at the Justine Henin Academy where world No. 6 and Wimbledon semifinalist Elina Svitolina also trained.
Â
Argyrokastriti was a member of the Greek National Team at the European Summer Cup Championships in 2019 and was a quarterfinalist at the ITF $15,000 Futures Event in Brussels with a Universal Tennis Rating score of 11.37.
Â
While Argyrokastriti will join the Devils in the Fall of 2020, Arizona State's spring season with a roster that feature's two All-Americans will get going in January as they host Northern Colorado and NAU on Jan. 19.
