The NCAA Men’s Tennis Tournament is where Kentucky men’s tennis shows up and performs, no matter the circumstances. Last season they ran the tables as an 8-seed, embarking on a Cinderella-esque run to the championship match where they ultimately lost to Virginia. Now, the 4-seeded Kentucky Wildcats have just booked a spot to the Elite Eight in Orlando after beating Stanford 4-3.
The Saturday Sweet 16 matchup against Stanford didn’t disappoint. The Cardinal are royalty in the tennis world, boasting 17 national championships. Stanford got off to a great start in doubles play, stealing the point at the Boone Tennis Complex.
