Career
2015: Major debut
By winning the Junior National Doubles Championships in 2015, Neel was awarded a wildcard from the United States Tennis Association into the women's doubles tournament of the US Open alongside Tornado Alicia Black where the duo won round one. They were unable to accept the substantial prize money since, at the time, it would have rendered them ineligible for participation in college tennis competition.
