Tennis teams eager for test of season
Women's team travels north; men set to play in Lawrence
By Robert Moczydlowsky Kansan sportswriter
The 1995 Kansas tennis season opens this weekend when both the men's and women's teams swing into action.
The No. 10-ranked Jayhawk women traveled to Minnesota yesterday, where they will be one of four teams competing in the Federated Court Classic. The team will play Vanderbilt tonight, Kansas women's coach Chuck Merzbacher said. If the Jayhawks win, they advance to play Minnesota or Baylor tomorrow.
This tournament will provide Kansas with an opportunity to evaluate its young team, Merzbacher said.
- "We'll get in some good competition," he said. "This will be the first big-time event for a lot of the players on our team," he said. "This will give us some good match-play experience, and some of our younger players will get some exposure."
The two-day indoor tournament also will feature some stiff doubles competition. Minnesota, Vanderbilt and Baylor all boast doubles teams ranked in the top 45 of the Rolex rankings. The Jayhawks have some high-ranked doubles teams of their own, however, led by the No. 31-ranked pairing of sophomore Jenni Atkerson and freshman Christie Sim.
"We have a lot of new people," Sim said. "This season won't be easy. We just have to stay focused and play hard."
The Kansas women's team home opener is Jan. 29 at Alvamar Racquet Club. The Jayhawks will play Boise State.
The Kansas men's team opens its season by squaring off against Southwest Missouri State. The match, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. tomorrow, will be the first of the season for both teams.
"This will be a good match for us," Kansas men's coach Michael Center said. "This will give us the opportunity to get into a competitive situation, which we haven't been in for a while."
The match will feature the Jayhawks' depth, as Kansas will play without several of their highly regarded players.
Senior Martin Erickson, the Jayhawks' top singles player, recently was added to the tournament field of the National Indoor Championships, a tournament that showcases the top 32 singles players in the nation.
Abaroa, who joined the Jayhawks after playing on the professional tour, must sit out two matches to comply with NCAA regulations regarding professional experience. He will be eligible to compete Jan. 28.
Since NCAA regulations limit players to 25 match appearances a season, Erickson will sit out tomorrow's match. Freshman newcomer Enrique
Also out is sophomore Tim Radogna, who has an injured back muscle. His injury is not serious, and he will resume practice Monday.
"We'll get a chance to play some of our guys at different positions," Center said. "With Martin, Enrique and Tim out, we'll switch some doubles pairs. Mike Isroff will play for the first time since his surgery, so he won't be full-speed yet."
Isroff, a junior who had knee surgery over the holiday break, said he was eager to return to action.
"This will basically be the first time I've played in about a month and a half," Isroff said. "It will really be nice to start playing again."
Center said that tomorrow's match would provide an opportunity to focus on the areas where the team needed work.
"We're always looking to improve our game," Center said. "This match will help us do that. We need to get into match play situations right now.
"Then we'll be able to see where we are."
