Tennessee tennis advances to SEC Tournament semifinals.

The 2023 SEC Tournament is taking place April 19-23 at Yarbrough Tennis Center in Auburn, Alabama.

“We played solid,” Tennessee head coach Chris Woodruff said. “I mean, it’s a tournament. It’s hard this time of season to analyze. If we play well or not is not really the objective. It’s win and advance, then prepare for whoever we play tomorrow. Let’s role from there.”
