Girls tennis: Players to watch

Kaitlyn Christian, Sr., Orange Lutheran: The Lancers’ top singles player reached the finals of the CIF individual tournament before falling. As a sophomore, she made the semifinals. She figures to be among the handful of players in December seeking to lay claim to this year’s championship.

Krista Hardebeck, Soph., El Modena: There wasn’t a better freshman last year than Hardebeck. She showed her talent by making the Round of 16 of last year’s CIF individual tournament, where she lost to Christian.

Joanna Smith, Jr., Dana Hills: The junior might have been the most improved player last year. Smith burst into last year’s CIF tournament quarterfinals, and she’ll be the top singles player on the No. 1 team in the county.

Megan Heneghan, Sr., Beckman: Heneghan has the strokes to play with any county player. How much she added to her game after last year’s quarterfinals run could make her dangerous.

Melissa Matsuoka, Sr., Corona del Mar: Matsuoka spent the first part of last season hurt, and the final half playing catch up. The senior appears healthy to start this season, so that could be a sign of good things to come
