Coach Lele Forood says: "Story had a successful campaign last year for her first time in the singles lineup. She won a lot of big matches and continued to solidify her big hitting game with more consistency through that playing experience. Her fall started with some impressive wins and with an improved finishing shot she will only get that much better."
