“Tennis is a sport in which people know each other, and compared with other Big Ten schools, the Rec Building and our courts were unimpressive. I'm sure that we've lost recruits over the years.”
“They were a home-court advantage when we played there, but that advantage was far outweighed by the lack of training they provided. Points are over too quickly, which didn't allow us to build up physically, while being able to hit some shots gave our players a false sense of security.”
“A lot of guys nowadays have a weapon - a big shot or big serve - so we get them out of their comfort zone, where they're charging the net and hitting approach shots,”
“I was very pleased with our performance. We were very successful from a team standpoint. We have made significant progress in practice and it showed up at Wisconsin.”
