UGA First Serve  Saturday January 18 at 1:00

Fans will get their first glimpse of the 2020 University of Georgia men's and women's tennis teams at the second annual 'First Serve' event on Saturday, Jan. 18 at 1 p.m. inside the Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Center. Last season, close to 500 spectators packed the Lindsey Hopkins Indoor center for the first-ever First Serve. The tennis version of Midnight Madness was considered a huge success as fans were able to watch the teams battle it out on the court and were able to take part in a clinic, which was hosted by coaches and players from both squads. 

The tennis community lost a dear friend when Barbara Fox lost her battle with cancer recently, We will miss her big smile and positive attitude.
