For the first time in over 30 years the Wisconsin men's tennis team will have more than one member heading to the NCAA tournament.
Senior Moritz Baumann and Marek Michalika have both earned at-large births to the NCAA tournament. This years tournament will mark the third appearance for Baumann and the second for Michalika.
Although they do not know who they will face in the tournament, the bracket will be released May 25th, they do know they will be in more than just one event.
Because the Badgers are sending two members of the team they will participate in both singles and doubles. As a doubles tandum the two went 10-5 this season and 8-1 in the Big Ten.
In terms of singles the unanimious All-Big Ten selections were also impressive this past season. Baumann went 14-6 in dual play this season, and his counterpart, Michalika, led the Badgers with a 19-4 dual record after starting the spring on a 14 match win streak.
The duo will now head to Athens, Ga. when the tournament starts on May 26th.
