Welcome to the Illini Tennis Roundup, where intrepid writer Alex Orr summarizes how the Illini tennis teams do each weekend and gives his not-so-expert analysis. Well, if they do well enough to where he feels like writing about them. Or if they don’t do something insane like beating the No. 1 team in the nation or beating the No. 7 team in the nation without Kova. We’ll see how many times this happens. The current count is at 2.
The first match of the weekend was for the women at Michigan. Even if the rankings don’t show it, the Wolverines are the class of the Big Ten, and they once again proved it against the Illini.
