The No. 32 Wake Forest women’s tennis team travels to No. 1 North Carolina as the first part of the Big Four Weekend double.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The No. 32 Wake Forest women's tennis team will make the short trip over to Chapel Hill to take on No. 1 North Carolina on Thursday afternoon.
The first serve is set for 3 p.m. ET against the Tar Heels (19-0, 9-0 ACC) at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. Over the last two seasons, North Carolina is a combined 37-0. In the latest ITA singles rankings, the Tar Heels have seven ranked singles players while also having seven ranked doubles teams.
