By Kathan Gandhi

As junior Mariana Reding was preparing for her serve, she first checked in with fellow junior and longtime doubles partner Simone Bergeron. Reding nodded, affirming Bergeron’s suggestion. The small gesture was enough. Bergeron called for a kick serve out wide. The plan worked. Reding served outside, moving her opponent off the court. Bergeron pounced on the shallow angle the team got in response, forcing their opponents to hit a weak return. Reding had an easy volley to finish off the point. She missed it. But walking back — it’d be hard to tell. Instead of screaming or crying, Reding laughed.
