LAST TIME OUT
The Vols' singles play shined brightly against Chattanooga after a slow start in doubles, sweeping all six singles matches in a 6-1 victory over the Mocs.
SCOUTING THE CATS
After starting the season in the top 25, Kentucky has fallen out of the poll after losing to No. 23 Illinois twice, but the Wildcats have bounced back to compile a 7-3 record before SEC play.
Tennessee won the last head-to-head matchup against UK, 4-3, on Mar. 9, 2025, to move the all-time record to 69-48 in favor of the Big Orange.
SCOUTING THE COMMODORES
Vanderbilt is off to a strong start, totaling an 8-2 record with its only losses coming against No. 1 Wake Forest and No. 2 Virginia. VU's most recent wins came last weekend against Michigan State and Lipscomb at home.
UT holds the all-time advantage over the Dores, 70-25. The Vols are riding a six-match win streak coming into the showdown, securing a win in the series in each of the past five seasons.
