Head Coach Jenny Mainz Said
"We're thrilled to be starting our SEC season at home this weekend. I applaud Greg Sankey and the SEC staff as well as Greg Byrne and our UA administration. They worked tirelessly and strategically to provide the opportunity for our student-athletes to play this season. In the midst of chaos and uncertainty, we're thankful to maintain the integrity of our SEC season and have the opportunity to play for a SEC Championship. I believe the pandemic has given us a renewed perspective of how fortunate we are to have the opportunities we have in the SEC. We're playing this season with a refreshed enthusiasm. It's been a blast to get back out on the tennis courts and compete together as an Alabama team and family."
