COLUMBUS, Ohio – This weekend’s tennis matches in Columbus will go a long way in determining this year’s Big Ten champion as the last three undefeated teams will play at the Auer Tennis Complex on Saturday and Sunday. Top-ranked Ohio State will host No. 18 Michigan State on Saturday and rival Michigan on Sunday. Both matches are scheduled to start at noon.

Dedicated parking will be held specifically for tennis spectators on Saturday across from the Auer Tennis Complex at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Ohio State and Michigan State will meet for the 95th time on Saturday afternoon.
The Buckeyes are 57-34-3 against the Spartans with their first matchup occurring in the 1933 season.
Last season, the Buckeyes blitzed Michigan State 7-0 in East Lansing on April 7, 2023.
The Spartans enter the weekend with a record of 20-3 and are 6-0 in Big Ten play. This is the first 20-win season in program history and MSU is off to its best start in Big Ten play since 1967.
This will be the 123nd all-time meeting between Ohio State and Michigan, and the second this season. The Wolverines lead the series 70-47-3 but Ohio State is 35-5 since Ty Tucker took over in 2000.
In the first meeting this season, a non-conference meeting, the Buckeyes rolled to a 4-0 sweep on March 17 in Ann Arbor. Justin Boulais led the way with a pair of wins.
Michigan is 12-10 overall on the season and 6-0 in conference matches.
Ohio State remains No. 1 in the team rankings, by a good margin, and is 23-1 overall on the season and 5-0 in Big Ten play.
