Tulane Women’s Tennis Heads to Memphis for Two Matches This Weekend
Apr 8, 2022 | Women's Tennis
NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane University women's tennis will travel to Memphis, Tennessee, for a pair of matches this weekend against Cincinnati and No. 54 Memphis. The Green Wave will face the Bearcats of Cincinnati at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday before squaring off against the Tigers on Sunday morning at 9:30 CT.
Tulane enters the weekend with a 10-7 record overall on the season and a 1-5 mark in road matches this year.
The Green Wave and Cincinnati have only met once in program history with Tulane claiming the lone victory. The Wave defeated the Bearcats 6-1 in New Orleans on March 16, 2015, in their only matchup.
Tulane and the Tigers have faced off six times in program history with the Green Wave holding a 4-2 advantage in the all-time series. The Wave defeated Memphis in the latest matchup 4-3 on April 14, 2021, in New Orleans. Tulane has never beaten the Tigers in Memphis as the Green Wave lost the only meeting in the Home of the Blues by a score of 5-2 on March 18, 2018.

The newly ranked pairing of Lahari Yelamanchili and Charlotte Russell leads Tulane in doubles action this season. The duo landed at No. 72 in the latest ITA rankings and holds a 13-3 record on the year. In singles play, the Green Wave is paced by Yelamanchili with an 11-2 record followed by Russell at 9-4 on the season. Cora Barber is also off to a strong start on the singles courts as she is a perfect 4-0 to start the year.
Following the action in Memphis over the weekend, the Green Wave will travel to Mobile, Alabama, to conclude the regular season with a match at South Alabama on April 15. The match between Tulane and the Jaguars is set for 2 p.m. CT.
