UK Men’s Tennis Returns Home Against Arkansas
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Fresh off its first Southeastern Conference road win of the season, No. 20 Kentucky (12-3, 2-2 SEC) is set to return home for a contest with No. 42 Arkansas (6-4, 0-1 SEC) on Friday at 6 p.m. ET.
In its last outing, the Wildcats halted a two-match losing skid with a 4-1 win at Auburn last Sunday. Senior Millen Hurrion earned the first of four consecutive singles points for Kentucky with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Tad Maclean on the third court, while freshman Yasha Zemel clinched the victory in 6-3, 6-4 fashion against Maxwell Giddens on court five.
Arkansas enters Friday coming off a 5-2 non-conference loss to Memphis after being swept 7-0 by Ole Miss to open SEC play the week prior.
The Cats and Razorbacks were slated to face off nearly a year ago in Lexington before the remainder of the 2019-20 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
