Ramsay on Hirshberg: Izzy finished her junior career as one of the top players in the U19. On the way she finished each age group ranked among the best. Izzy has a skilled style of play, is gifted with a wide range of shots and the confidence to play them successful when it counts. Her opponents find themselves under a lot of pressure and often limited on their shot selection. Izzy will bring those racquet skills and a great determination to the program. She will be a great addition and a wonderful team player.
