WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Former William & Mary women's tennis standout Megan Moulton-Levy is returning to professional tennis and will compete in the Australian Open this week. After missing the last two years due to injury, Moulton-Levy is teaming with fellow American Lauren Davis to compete in her 13th career Grand Slam event.
 
In the opening round of the Australian Open, Moulton-Levy and Davis meet the Australian duo of Destanee Aiava and Alicia Smith. The winner faces either the No. 13-seeded team of Saisai Zhenge and Katarina Srebotnik or the pair of Christina McHale and Asia Muhammad in the second round.
