Hello Friends of Badger Men's Tennis,

Your Badgers are off to tough start so far this season.  The injury bug has taken a big bite out of our lineup this early this season.  Unfortunately, we are missing three starters from last year's season that all were projected to play in the top 4 in our lineup.  On the flip side, our large freshman class is getting valuable playing time and competing extremely hard these last couple weeks.  Another bright spot has been the development of Sophomore Michael Minasyan.  Mikey played number #6 singles the majority of last season and has taken on the challenge to play at the top of lineup this spring.  He is 3-1 on the season with a win at #1 versus a tough Old Dominion team.  

This weekend we host a pair of Pac-12 teams that will become full time Big Ten conference members next season in Washington and Oregon.  

• Friday, 2/2 vs Washington at 530pm
• Sunday, 2/4 vs Oregon at 11am

Thanks to our fans for coming out and supporting our players.  You all really make a difference.  Last week, we had a great crowd in a very exciting match versus Notre Dame.  This weekend will be very similar with two tough opponents.  

Hope to see you out at Nielsen and as always, thank you for your support.  

On, Wisconsin!
