LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Elena Noguero Asensio of Lleida, Spain has signed a national letter of intent to continue her tennis career at the University of Louisville according to Cardinal head coach Mark Beckham.

As a singles player, she won five Regional Titles in Lleida in the U14, U16, and Open Categories.
Â
She was also the champion of several national tournaments U12, U14, U16, U18, and Open categories including Pere Masip, Monty Tour, Warrior Tour, and Marca.

Â
In doubles competition, she was a semifinalist of the U16 Spanish Championship and was the Champion of the U14 Cataluña Championship as well as winning the Championship of the U16 Master Warrior Tour at Equelite Juan Carlos Ferrero.
Â
Â
Her best Open National ranking in Spain was No. 90 and her best Junior National Ranking in Spain ranged from 15 to 20.
Â
"I would like to welcome Elena Noguero Asensio to Louisville Women's Tennis," said Beckham. "I am really excited about Elena because she is a player who loves the sport. The biggest focus for me was finding players that are self-motivated and love putting in the time on court. Elena fits what I was looking for and then some. She came highly recommended, and she is someone that has a pretty big chip on her shoulder. She wants to show and prove to everyone how good she is and how good she will be become. I absolutely love that about her. She will have an impact in singles and doubles for a long time in this program. She knows she's coming to the highest level of tennis possible outside of the pro tour and she feels like she will thrive in this environment, which is exactly what we need in the program."
