Women’s Tennis Announces 2020 Signees

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Head coach Jeff Wyshner announced the addition of two signees on Tuesday. Casie Wooten and Brooke Killingsworth will join the Wake Forest women's tennis team in 2020.

"We are so excited to add Brooke and Casie to our program," Wyshner said. "From our first phone calls and their first visits to campus, they impressed us as the passionate, team-oriented players that thrive in college tennis. They clicked right away with each other and with their future teammates. Both are exceptional talents who have had stellar junior careers, yet both seem to have a great deal of room to grow as players in our program."

"Casie's development as a player has been a family affair as her father Dan Wooten is program director of the Tennis Academy of California in Torrance, California," Wyshner said. "Casie still attends a traditional school so she hasn't logged as many hours on the court as some of her peers. This is probably one of the reasons for her improvement over the last couple years where she has gone from just inside the top-100 in her class to inside the top 25. Working closely with her father certainly has helped her develop great technique and understanding on the court, yet we see her aggressive game and ability to play all-court really developing over the past year and are excited to see it continue to develop within our program."

"Brooke was a two-sport athlete in basketball and tennis through 9th grade and reached a high of just 171 in her class in 2016," Wyshner said. "Her climb since then has been incredibly impressive to where she is No. 27 in her class. Matias Marin and the staff at the Tucker Tennis Academy in Tulsa have really helped her grow her game over the last couple years as she does most of her training in Tulsa now, and she also gets great support from Matias De Genaro and the program at Ozark Tennis Academy when she is home in Arkansas."
