Jenny Kropp has already gone through some major changes in 2008. On the court, she has found a new teammate. Off the court, she has locked in her partner for life.
Kropp, 28, the AVP's 2007 Rookie of the Year, is now playing with Nancy Mason, 37.
"I really like it," said Kropp, a standout blocker at 6-foot-2. "Nancy is one of the best players on the tour. She is a veteran who knows a lot. I get to learn from her. I just hope she is patient because I have a lot to learn. But I think our potential is unlimited."
Kropp and Mason showed some of that potential this weekend in the AVP Gold Crown Miami Open. But they also showed that the team has room for improvement.
Seeded ninth, Kropp and Mason started the tournament by defeating qualifiers Erin Byrd and Stephanie Chapek, 21-17, 22-20, in a surprisingly tough match.
