The Wildcats and their rackets will participate in the Sweet 16 for the first time in eight years.

On Saturday afternoon at the Hilary J. Boone Tennis Complex in Lexington, Kentucky Men’s Tennis secured a 4-2 victory over the Northwestern Wildcats, moving them into the Sweet 16 of the 2022 NCAA Championships. This marks the first time since the 2014 season that the UK men have advanced this deep in the bracket. Considered the eighth-ranked team in the tournament and ninth-best in the country, Kentucky moves to 23-7 on the season.
