MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin women's tennis dropped a 4-0 decision to No. 18 Michigan in its outdoor home opener on Sunday morning.

At No. 1, Ekaterina Ivanova and Ellison Reynoldson fell 6-3. No. 3 Kaja Jacobson and Tianna Rangan dropped shortly after, giving the Wolverines the doubles point and a 1-0 lead.
In singles play, the Badgers continued to compete throughout singles play, with several close matches on court. Maria Sholokhova bounced back after dropping the first set to take the second, 6-2. Ekaterina Ivanova also battled back in her second set, erasing a 2-4 deficit to force a 6-6 tie before her match went unfinished. Kaede Usui picked up a first-set tiebreak win to give Wisconsin early momentum. Michigan was able to pull ahead at the No. 3 and No. 5 singles positions to extend its lead.
