With 15 of the best college men's tennis teams coming to Madison this week, the University of Wisconsin doesn't want to just be a good host, coach Danny Westerman said.
"I think we're pretty fired up to play this at home," he said. "We feel like we could be up a point on most teams just because we're at home."
For the first time since 1977, the Badgers have home-court advantage for the ITA Division I National Men's Team Indoor Championship at Nielsen Tennis Stadium. Matches start Friday, with the championship on Monday.
UW got an automatic bid to the tournament as host, while the 15 other teams had to qualify through four-team regionals held last month.
