The University of Wisconsin Badgers women’s tennis team (10-1, 3-0 Big Ten) continued its dominant run through the season with their ninth straight victory, a commanding 4-1 win over Illinois (6-7, 1-1) Sunday, March 9 at home.
Wisconsin entered the matchup with the Fighting Illini riding the momentum of a 4-0 win over Northwestern just two days prior on March 7. The Northwestern match was no ordinary game; this match featured the team’s 1K Day, an event put on by the women’s tennis team to try and set an NCAA attendance record of 1,000 fans at the match, which drew over 500 fans in attendance at Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
