Former Tennis Star Dies Suddenly at Age 31
Newsbreak ^ | 2/8

Posted on 02/09/2023 1:08:15 PM PST by nickcarraway

Teammates and coaches are mourning the loss of a former collegiate tennis star who died suddenly at the age of 31 over the weekend.

Former University of Georgia standout Lilly Kimbell reportedly died on Sunday, according to her family. Kimbell's family says that she had been experiencing kidney issues that led to a heart attack. CPR was performed at her home and she was transported to the hospital, but her family tragically were forced to make the decision to take her off of life support.

“We were stunned and heartbroken to learn of Lilly passing away,” said Georgia head coach Jeff Wallace. “I will always remember how she helped create a culture of excellence with her attitude and work ethic. Lilly was a fantastic teammate and was always smiling and laughing during practice and matches. She ranks as one of the most successful doubles players in Georgia tennis history. During the spring of her sophomore year, she went undefeated in doubles with Maho (Kowase), and their 22-match winning streak is still a school record. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family.”

Kimbell, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Science in 2014 and a masters in Sport Management in 2016, is one of the most distinguished players to have passed through the university's women's tennis program.

She holds the school record for most consecutive doubles wins in a season, alongside partner Maho Kowase, and she was a part of four teams that made it to the NCAA quarterfinals. She also ranks fourth in career doubles victories with a 109-31 record and seventh in doubles wins in a season with a 32-5 record in 2012.

Yes this happens daily and is normal for a 31 year old tennis star and coach.

Hard to argue it is not premature.
Or normative.
Or that the preponderance of evidence doesn’t show excess deaths after the Vaxx.

Another outstanding collegiate tennis player Jack Madison from Columbus, OH playing for Colorado died last month, “peacefully” in his sleep, he was twenty. No cause of death has been announced, so kind of wonder if it could have been a drug overdose.

Now that I have dropped HULU + Live (never to return), how best to watch Alabama football?

Most of the big Bama games are on CBS, so an HD antenna probably picks up the local CBS station. I believe that CBS/SEC contract lasts through the 2023 season.

Family, friends, and former coaches were quick to offer their condolences in the wake of this unimaginable tragedy.

Gas bag gets renal disease from this one line...

“Kimbell’s family says that she had been experiencing kidney issues that led to a heart attack.”

My diagnosis is better and based on more data. The vaxx killed her.

“Most of the big Bama games are on CBS.”

Thanks. That might work for me.

Sometimes it is hard to know what one has available. For exammple, I once had a plan that included ESPN+. I was surprised to learn that it excluded ESPN. On the positive side, Fox Sports is available for free using Tubi. I tested that yesterday, watching the final minutes of the Super Bowl.

I think a subscription to CBS sports costs money. However, I may be able to pick up my local CBS station for free with Roku/internet.
