January 30, 2020 | Women's Tennis
CHAPEL HILL - The North Carolina women's tennis team, ranked No. 2 in the country, will face a pair of top-20 clubs this weekend at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. The Tar Heels welcome No. 10 Michigan on Saturday at 11 a.m. and No. 13 Vanderbilt on Sunday at noon.
Admission is free for all tennis matches. Sunday will be a Carolina Kids Club Day.
The Tar Heels defeated both the Wolverines and Commodores last spring by identical 5-2 score lines on the road. UNC and Michigan meet Saturday for the sixth consecutive year. The Heels hold a 4-1 edge in the series, losing only in Ann Arbor, Michigan, 5-2 in 2016.
This is the third straight season North Carolina will face Vanderbilt. The Commodores won a thriller, 4-3, in Chapel Hill in 2018, before UNC exacted a bit of revenge in Nashville last year with the aforementioned 5-2 victory.
Carolina (4-0) has won all four of its matches this month in Chapel Hill to run its home winning streak to 24 matches, a streak that dates back to the 2017-18 season.
Last weekend during the ITA Kick-Off, the Tar Heels dispatched of Auburn and Old Dominion by scores of 4-0 and 4-1, respectively, to advance to the ITA National Team Indoor Championship Feb. 7-10 in Chicago, Illinois. UNC has won the indoor national championship on three occasions in 2013, 2015 and most recently in 2018, and have reached the finals each of the last five years. Last season, Georgia came away with a narrow 4-3 victory in the title match out in Seattle.
Carolina's lineup features four ranked standouts in singles: No. 2 Cameron Morra, No. 4 Sara Daavettila, No. 8 Alexa Graham and No. 36 Alle Sanford.
The doubles lineup features No. 5 Jones and Morra, No. 6 Daavettila and Graham and No. 50 Sanford and freshman Anika Yarlagadda.
Michigan (2-0) moved up five spots in the national poll this week after a pair of 4-2 wins at home over Ole Miss and No. 12 UCF on ITA Kick-Off Weekend. The Wolverines lineup features No. 26 Giulia Pairone and No. 85 Andrea Cerdan.
Vanderbilt fell from No. 9 to No. 13 this week after falling to Arizona State 4-3 at home last weekend in ITA Kick-Off action. The Commodores also have a pair of ranked singles players in No. 22 Georgia Drummy and No. 32 Christina Rosca. In doubles, Drummy and Rosca check in at No. 12.
The Commodores face Northwestern on the road Friday in Evanston, Illinois, before Sunday's match with the Tar Heels.
Also in action this weekend at Cone-Kenfield, the fourth ranked Carolina men's tennis team takes on No. 19 Illinois on Saturday at 6 p.m. and No. 12 South Carolina on Sunday at 5:30 p.m.
