Missouri tennis has a glimmer of hope after a successful performance during the first day of the Mizzou Invitational Thursday. After a dismal performance in their opening tournament last weekend at the UGA Invitational, the Tigers rebounded nicely with several wins on the day.
Missouri welcomed Memphis, Kansas State and Wichita State to Columbia for the round-robin tournament that sees each team play a single set of doubles matches and a single set of singles matches, rotating through all the possible matchup combinations until Saturday’s conclusion. The tournament’s return to Columbia made Thursday a historic day as well, as the invitational was at Mizzou for the first time since 2008.
