The No. 22 Hoosiers will have their first home tennis match at 1 p.m. today in the Indoor Tennis Center against No. 9 Kentucky, and will follow it up against Wright State at 6 p.m.
The No. 49 Hoosiers hosted No. 52 Missouri, Marquette and Bowling Green over the weekend in a tournament that was organized into seven singles flights and one doubles flight.
The Hoosiers will seek to peg back a University of Notre Dame team rolling into Bloomington on a wave of momentum today as the two squads reprise their intrastate rivalry. The teams are scheduled to face each other at 2 p.m. at the IU Tennis Center.
For the Hoosiers, the third road match in a month against a top-20 opponent proved almost as insurmountable as the first two.
Despite being competitive in its first two road matches, IU returned home empty-handed in both cases, failing to register a single point at Kentucky or Ohio State. This weekend, the team will travel to the Sooner State in search of its first away victory in a Sunday showdown with No. 19 Oklahoma.
The Hoosiers, who debuted at No. 29 — one spot above last year’s final
standing — in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association national team
rankings released Tuesday, have gone 21-8 thus far at the event, with
wins against opponents representing Louisville, Radford and Alabama.
Forty-eight long years have elapsed since the team won a Big Ten Championship, but players and coaches are brimming with confidence and optimism ahead of the upcoming season, fully convinced they are capable of bringing the conference title to Bloomington.
The Hoosiers participated in the Western Michigan Invitational in Kalamazoo, Mich. The team finished with five wins in singles play.
Senior Will Kendall joined junior Josh MacTaggart, who was the top overall seed in the tournament, in the last eight of singles action.

The IU men’s tennis team travels to Iowa City, Iowa, for the Big Ten
Men’s Indoor Tennis Championships, hoping to muster another strong
showing and continue to build on its early momentum.
The tournament starts Friday and lasts through Monday.
The Big Ten Conference named Josh MacTaggart the conference’s Men’s Tennis Player of the Week for Oct. 17 to 23.
Ten years later, senior IU tennis player Will Kendall can still vividly recall the moment his life came to a sudden and unexpected halt.
It started with a sweatshirt. That’s what caught the eye of the American
media and many IU students back in the United States. They recognized
an IU-East shirt during Williams’ press conference after a match at
Wimbledon — and the buzz began.
The former world No. 1 is taking online business classes to pursue a bachelor’s degree through a online degree-completion program.
High school and college tennis players competed against each other last weekend at the IU Tennis Center as part of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s Summer Circuit Midwest Regional open tournament.
There seems to be an unsurprising correlation between a nation’s political power and its sports prowess.
It makes perfect sense that given a larger pool of resources and manpower, a nation would be athletically dominant.
For the second consecutive match, the Hoosiers played exceptionally well against a top-40 team.
But for the second consecutive match, the IU men’s tennis team walked away with a 4-3 loss.
Most college tennis teams in the Midwest get used to the fact that with
inclement winter weather they have to be inside nearly five months of
the year. For that reason, they feel more comfortable and play better
indoors.
The IU men’s tennis team is an exception to this rule.
Andy and Roger started playing, not knowing when it’d stop.
Roger Federer won his record 15th Grand Slam title Sunday, outlasting Andy Roddick for his sixth Wimbledon championship in a marathon match that went to 16-14 in the fifth set.
