It doesn't matter if you actually have to show up or not, the fact that you must have 2 ready players is the written rule to accept a default.
Sucks for her that she can't play at state, maybe she should have shown up for more than just one match if she wanted to go that badly. Also, technically speaking if you don't have 2 players that are ready for the lineup and to accept the default from the other team, you MUST as an ethical captain inform the other of the same issue and the match will be a double-default where each team loses and no one is a winner for that particular match.
Abide by the tennis code of ethics or gtfo.

This issue is not covered in The Code. Now what?
