Jana Leder, Martina Paladini-Jennings, and Aleks Topalovic have occupied the No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 singles lines for the Governors so far this season. Leder has partnered with both Paladini-Jennings and Topalovic in doubles action, where she has won a single match with each partner this season. The No. 6 singles line has seen both Ana Albertson and Honoka Nakanishi represent Austin Peay this season. Albertson and Nakanishi have also picked up a pair of doubles wins this season while partnering up as the Govs No. 3 pairing in all three matches this season.
