Coming to the Match: Admission is free to all regular season home Virginia tennis matches. Fans are encouraged to park in the Boar’s Head Field, next to the lake across from the main entrance to the Boar’s Head Inn. A courtesy shuttle will take fans from the parking area to the Sports Club.
About the Match: The Cavaliers open a four-match homestand this weekend as they host Baylor on Saturday and Michigan on Sunday. Virginia (4-2) is looking to rebound after a 5-2 loss at Illinois on Sunday. Baylor enters the match with a 1-1 record after having its 61-match home winning streak snapped by new No. 1 Florida last weekend. Michigan enters the weekend 3-0 before hosting Rice Friday night and travelling to Virginia Sunday.
Against The Bears: Saturday’s match is the third all-time meeting between the schools. Baylor has won both of the previous meetings, both last season. Baylor defeated Virginia 4-1 in the ITA National Team Indoor Final in Chicago. Two weeks later, the Bears won an epic 4-3 regular season match that began in Waco and ended nearly ten hours later at an indoor club 90 miles away.
Against The Wolverines: Sunday’s match is the tenth all-time meeting between the schools with Virginia holding a 6-3 advantage in the series. The teams have not met since 1999, when the Cavaliers defeated Michigan 5-2 at Boar’s Head.
