AUSTIN – Pavi Francis warmed up at the Lakeway World of Tennis for one hour before her Class 5A girls singles final. The Flower Mound Marcus senior wanted to be ready for anything, and the extra practice did little to take away from her mission.
Exuding confidence and utilizing potent groundstrokes, Francis routed Richardson Pearce sophomore Anastasia Zavgorodni, 6-1, 6-0, in less than an hour to capture her third consecutive Class 5A girls singles championship.
Francis, an SMU signee, is the first girls player to win three consecutive titles in the state's highest classification since Houston Spring Woods' Daryl Gralka accomplished the feat in 1969-71.
"I went out there with my 'A' game, and I was determined to end my high school career on a high note," Francis said. "I was glad to have two other finals under my belt, and that helped me stay calm when I needed to on big points."
