SEC tennis waits for nobody. This afternoon, Kentucky got a bitter reality check and “welcome back” to the SEC moment. No. 5 Kentucky fell to No. 6 South Carolina 4-3 at the Boone Tennis Complex in Lexington, KY. The Wildcats’ second consecutive loss drops them to 12-2 (0-1) on the season.
Granted, South Carolina has a heck of a squad, but this is conference play and the SEC has a boatload of challengers. Surely, Kentucky didn’t want to kickoff SEC action with a loss, especially at home but, there will be a handful of “easier” opportunities right around the corner.
