KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – After spending most of the month of March on the road, the Tennessee women's tennis team returns to Rocky Top for a two-week homestand beginning this weekend with No. 24 Arkansas and Missouri.

All home matches played inside the Goodfriend Tennis Center will be conducted without fans per SEC COVID-19 protocols. Spectators at Barksdale Stadium will be limited to family and friends of the Tennessee women's tennis and visiting program, general admission is not permitted. Should the match be moved indoors the day of the match, those on the pass list will be permitted.

Last Time Out: The Lady Vols split the weekend on the road, earning a 4-3 win over No. 16 Vanderbilt and falling 4-2 to No. 23 Kentucky.
Home Sweet Home: The Lady Vols hold a perfect 7-0 record on Rocky Top during the 2021 dual-match season. UT has collected all but one doubles point during that stretch and four Lady Vols hold a perfect solo record at home.
