| Wisconsin Club Tennis Team History At the end of 2005 there was a group of about ten individuals who were extremely passionate about the sport of tennis and had a desire to make it a competitive club sport on the University of Wisconsin campus. After several months, the club team became approved and since then has been a thriving sport on campus. The team has been extremely successful in its 3 year existence, being ranked as high as #1in the country in 2008. In 2009, the team ended the year ranked #2 in the country after placing runner-up in the National Championship to Duke. The team has grown to 100 members split evenly between the Rec and Travel teams. Wisconsin Club Tennis Team Mission Statement To promote the game of tennis on the University of Wisconsin campus. We want to create interest among those who have had no prior experience with tennis as well as create a competitive environment for those who have previously played high school tennis and USTA tournaments. |
