The Georgia women’s tennis team continues fall tournament action Friday in Fort Worth, Texas at the Big 5 Challenge.

 
TCU will serve as the host of the three-day event that features singles and doubles flights with student-athletes from Texas Tech, Virginia Tech, Virginia, Michigan, Arizona State, South Carolina and the Horned Frogs.
 
 
Georgia will be in action Friday at 12:30 p.m. ET and again at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Friedman Tennis Center. There is no live scoring available; however, the evening matches will have live streaming. CLICK HERE for live streaming.
 
 
Last week, Georgia opened its season by playing host to the Puerto Rico Fall Classic. Due to the recent hurricanes impacting the Caribbean, the tournament was moved to Athens. Georgia’s Elena Christofi and Katarina Jokic went 4-0 in singles and were named tri-champions along with Vanderbilt’s Summer Dvorak.
 
 
In the preseason ITA rankings, Christofi is No. 10 in singles and No. 34 in doubles with freshman Morgan Coppoc. The Georgia tandem is 1-1 this year. Bulldog sophomore Marta Gonzalez, who is 3-1 in singles this fall, is ranked No. 105.
 
 
Georgia senior Laura Patterson posted a 3-0 mark in singles during the Puerto Rico Fall Classic while Bulldog freshman Annette Goulak went 3-1. Also of note, Georgia used nine different doubles combinations last weekend. Overall, the Bulldogs went 20-7 in singles and 6-4 in doubles in their first fall action.
