And here is where I start earning the big bucks. It’s absolutely appalling Kylee isn’t all over the top watch lists somewhere. She’s playing for a tough Colorado Juniors team, and playing up a year since she’s a 2028. June 15th that phone better be ringing off the hook though. Her Lib skills are fantastic, good reads, quick, covers the tip well, but her serving skills are on another level. She’s got great movement on her float serve, but her control and accuracy is something I didn’t see anywhere else, including all of the open bracket. I watched her hit the corner where the tape meets on 5 consecutive serves, it was another level, especially with a serve that moves. This girl is legit, and if there aren’t D1s on speed dial, they need to be.
