UI Roundup: Youngsters star for Illini men's tennis

URBANA — On a team dominated by inexperience, there will be ups and downs.

Look no further than the Illini men’s tennis team, which is led by six freshmen and sits at 11-9, including 4-2 in the Big Ten, after Saturday’s 6-1 home win against Iowa.

“With six freshmen, it’s going to be their call collectively to decide how they represent Illinois tennis,” associate head coach Marcos Asse said. “(Saturday) was a better job in spots.”

Freshmen Aleks Kovacevic, Noe Khlif, Zeke Clark and Vuk Budic all earned singles wins, along with junior Aleks Vukic.
