Attendance is free for all fans visiting the Combe Tennis Center. Parking is free after 4 p.m. CT in the North Campus Garage.

The Wildcats are coming off of a strong fall where Simen Bratholm and Brian Berdusco claimed a Big Ten doubles championship. Bratholm advanced to the singles final in the event as well.
The 'Cats return four contributors from their singles lineup last season in Bratholm, Trice Pickens, Steven Forman and Presley Thieneman. The program added graduate transfer Br. Berdusco who was accomplished doubles player at Florida, the 2021 spring season National Champions.
Head Coach Arvid Swan also welcomed in two highly touted first years in Felix Nordby and Max Bengtsson. The two combined to make up the No. 12 recruiting class in the country according to Tennis Recruiting Network.

Bengtsson comes as the No. 1 recruit in the state of Illinois and was ranked as high as No. 3 nationally.
The Wildcats advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2021, defeating No. 23 UCLA in the first round before falling to No. 4 Texas.
