Senior doubles partners enjoy changing team roles
Continued from page 1B
early in her career. She characterized herself as a "la-dee-da" player then, but said she changed to fit her changing role.
She said she took her role on the team more seriously, but coach Jenny Garrity and Chiller said she continued to have fun and kept all the players loose.
Garrity said that Sidorova's attitude toward the game helped to cancel out her own intensity, which makes the rest of the team relax before matches.
"She says what's on her mind, and a lot of the time, the kids get a big kick out of it," Garrity said. Sidorova said her oddball antics were responsible for most of the laughs.
"It's just that certain things happen to me that make everyone else laugh," she said.
While Sidorova brings a carefree type of attitude to the court, Chiller brings visual intensity apparent in her expressions and unmatched by
any player on the team.
She said that she did not want to take tennis less seriously, but she would like to relax and enjoy her senior season.
"She has high goals for herself and for her team, and she comes out and works hard every day," Garrity said.
In addition to being the only two seniors on the team, Chiller and Sidorova have been doubles partners for more than two years. Their play in the fall earned them the No. 11 ranking in the region. In those two years they have developed a court-awareness for each other that the other doubles teams have yet to gain — which may pay off when it comes time to play Texas, especially since they rely on each other.
"She knows where I'm going to be in certain situations." Sidorova said.
Chiller said the same of Sidorova.
"With Julia and I, we just know so well where each other is going to be," she said.
Cancer leads player to coaching
Continued from page 1B
"That got me pretty good," Lumpkin said. "It was easy to put things in perspective because I was thinking on a larger scale at the time, but it was also really difficult to truly understand because tennis was always there for me in my life." Looking back on the experience now, Lumpkin said he viewed his cancer as a positive rather than a negative influence on his life.
"I'd rather I did it than didn't," he said. "I understand what life means now. I gained so much more mentally than what I lost physically."
"I don't think it will be too much longer before I'm out there at practice everyday."

Lumpkin said he returned to Lawrence after being treated because he missed the city and he wanted to make his life similar to the way it was before he left. Even though he does not play much tennis anymore, he said he still loved the game.
"I hope to play again at some
point, just not competitively," he said. "The impact of the sport is really high and it's not really worth the risk. I'm always finding people who are less accomplished tennis players to compete with. I still enjoy the game even though I can't play at the same level."
So what does that mean for the Kansas men's tennis team in the future?
"I don't think it will be too much longer before I'm out there at practice everyday," Lumpkin said.
Although his playing days may be finished, Lumpkin said he hoped he could spend more time helping coach the team.
