Fall Ball
The ITA Championship was a short stop for the Badgers a season ago but fast forward a year and Wisconsin was making a splash. Senior Chema Carranza made a deep run this year competition, cracking the main draw with fellow senior Josef Dodridge in doubles. In singles, Carranza won five straight matches to advance to the main draw, earning his first two career ranked wins along the way.
After capturing the Milwaukee Tennis Classic doubles championship in the 2016-17 campaign, the Badgers were less fortunate in their travels this season. Wisconsin picked up two wins from senior Lamar Remy and sophomore Chase Colton but was otherwise unsuccessful in advancing the bracket.
In Wisconsin's first outing at the Harvard Chowder Fest, senior Josef Dodridge was named the tournament singles champion, while also helping fellow senior Chema Carranza take home the hardware in the doubles category.
Wisconsin holds a 39-37 record in singles play as well as a 20-14 doubles record in the fall season.
A LOOK BACK AT 2016-17
The Badgers enjoyed one of their finest seasons in recent history in head coach Danny Westerman's second year at the helm. Wisconsin finished the 2016-17 campaign with an 18-8 (7-4 in Big Ten play) record, ranked No. 28 in the ITA national poll and danced in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2010.
Wisconsin not only showed up, but advanced in the NCAA tournament with a win over San Diego, 4-1. It was the fifth NCAA tournament win in school history.
In addition to the team's wild success, individuals Lamar Remy and Josef Dodridge were both awarded with All-Big Ten honors. Remy snagged first-team honors – the first such honor for a Badger since 2011 – while Dodridge was named second-team.
The top two Badgers weren't the only ones to flourish. All six Wisconsin starters tallied 20-win seasons, a feat that hadn't been replicated by a single Badger since 2010.
A key piece of the Badgers success came in the doubles category. Wisconsin gained the doubles point an impressive 21 of 26 matches in the 2016 season.

Wisconsin returns all six singles starters from a year ago and returns eight of its 10 letter winners from the 2016-17 season. Among UW's notable returners are…
