No. 14 Tennessee (7-1, 3-0 SEC) defeated No. 28 Alabama (10-1, 2-1 SEC), 4-0, at Alabama Tennis Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
The loss is Alabama’s first during the 2026 tennis season.
Tennessee sisters, freshman Audrey Aulia and senior Catherine Aulia, competed as a duo for the first time, defeating Mary Sidelynk and Addison Bowman, 6-1. They became the first Tennessee sisters to compete together in doubles since Paula Kelly and Peta Kelly in 1982.
“Being able to play with Catherine gave me a lot of confidence going into my first doubles match,” Audrey Aulia said. “We haven’t played a lot together because of our age gap, so I’m glad that we got to experience this opportunity. We had so much fun out there and knew what we wanted to do to get the win!”
Audrey Aulia also defeated Amina Salibayeva, 6-2, 6-4, in singles competition.
“We’ve been talking to our team about the ability to stay flexible for years now, so it’s a part of who we are on a day-to-day basis,” Tennessee head coach Alison Ojeda said of adjusting her doubles assignments. “For that reason, it was easy to make the adjustment. Our team was so mature about understanding what we did. That said, they performed really well as well!”
