In matches, the Cavaliers' No. 1 singles player always seems to be in a comfort zone, appearing perhaps too relaxed at times. Her personality, according to Coach Phil Rogers, can mislead opponents. But underneath she is taking a player apart. Boiko admits that her almost lackadaisical personality often confuses onlookers, but she said she believes it benefits the team. Sometimes people think I'm too relaxed, but that's what works for me.
Some people tend to get nervous about things.
If a couple of the top players are relaxed and really confident about matches, it can really help out the rest of the team in terms of guiding them. Last year, Boiko teamed with Kendall White to grab an ACC championship in No. 2 doubles. Boiko has not wasted time rising through the Cavs' ranks. A season ago, she became the first Cavalier second year to play at No. 1 in Rogers' tenure. She has a rare combination of both unbelievable touch and power.
