UW to compete in final fall tournament this weekend

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin women's tennis team wraps up its fall campaign in Florida as the Badgers will partake in the FSU All-Conference Showdown in Tallahassee, Florida.

1. A LOOK BACK: Most recently, the Badgers competed in the Roberta Alison Fall Classic in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Sophomore MaryAnn Rompf and junior Melissa Pick each won their backdraw brackets, knocking off opponents from Western Michigan and DePaul, respectively.

2. WHO'S COMPETING: The Badgers are sending Anna Makarova, Christina Zordani, Melissa Pick, Lexi Keberle and Maryann Rompf to Florida State for the three-day tournament at the Scott Speicher Memorial Tennis Courts. The quintet aren't the only Badgers in action this week as senior Sara Castellano is participating in the 2018 Oracle ITA Fall National Championships in Surprise, Arizona.

3. FRESHMAN FOLLOWERS: Wisconsin newbie Ava Markham, hailing from New Jersey, has posted a 3-2 singles record in the fall season so far. All three of her singles victories came during the Saint Mary's Classic last month.

4. ABOUT THE TOURNEY: This year's Florida State All-Conference Showdown features 15 teams from 10 different conferences from across the country. UW is the lone representative from the Big Ten Conference at the tournament, which begins on Friday at 8 a.m. CT with doubles play.

5. LOOKING FORWARD: This is Wisconsin's final tournament until January, when it competes down in Miami in the FIU Spring Invitational. That tournament will be held Jan. 11- Jan. 13.
