Wake Forest women's tennis signee Kimmy Guerin won her fourth consecutive Connecticut state singles championship yesterday. She is only the second player to ever accomplish that feat joining Patti Murren, who, interestingly enough, also went on to play at Wake Forest and became one of only 10 players in Demon Deacon history to win 100 singles matches.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - With all apologies to Patti Murren, the Guerin Slam has a much nicer ring to it. Kimmy Guerin of Weston, who burst onto the state's tennis scene three years ago as a precocious freshman with a killer forehand, won her fourth straight State Open singles championship on Wednesday at the Yale Tennis Center.
Guerin bested Westhill's Anna Rogers, a freshman, by a 6-1, 6-3 score to cap off her career with her 97th straight high school victory, all of which came without losing a single set.
"It's really exciting. It's a lot of pressure off of me because it's been there since my freshman year," said Guerin. "I had no idea what the State Open was, but after my freshman year I knew it was a possibility, but I just didn't know if I could do it."
