That duo is 2-5, along with senior captains Alyssa Blade and Bianca Prescott, who compete in the second slot.

Three different Fighting Scots have seen time at the top spot in Abbigail Fournier (0-3), Caroline Hemer (0-1) and Annette Kim (4-1), who is the most successful singles player. Kim and Helmer have partnered up as Gordon's top duo and combined for a 4-4 mark.
