The Wisconsin tennis program found itself in familiar territory this past weekend at the Big Ten tennis tournaments.
For the fifth straight season, both the men’s and women’s teams fell in the first round of the tournament, a fate that has prolonged the development of a program in desperate need of a turnaround.
On the men’s side, the ninth-seeded Badgers dropped all points to the eighth-seeded Iowa Hawkeyes, falling 4-0 without winning a single matchup.
Four matches went unfinished en route to Iowa’s victory, including UW freshman Josef Dodridge’s, who had garnered second-team all-Big Ten honors earlier in the week.
