Marliss Gruver Invitational (Auburn) Draws
Roberta Alison Invitational (Alabama) Draws

OXFORD, Miss. --
Fresh off strong performances at the 2018 ITA South Regional, Ole Miss Women's Tennis returns to the court, sending split squads to the state of Alabama for weekend tournaments. Four Rebels will compete in the Marliss Gruver Fall Invitational at Auburn, while four others will head to Tuscaloosa for the Roberta Alison Invitational on the campus of Alabama. 

Heading to Tuscaloosa will be senior Allie Sanford with a trio of juniors Tereza Janatova, Allie Sanford, and Cameron Kriscunas while veteran Tea Jandric leads junior Alexa Bortles, sophomore Sabina Machalova, and freshman Isolde de Jong to Auburn. Janatova and Kriscunas carry a South Regional B Draw Doubles title into Tuscaloosa, while Bortles and de Jong and Jandric each turned in a runner-up finish in the main draw of the South Regional.

There will be seven teams competing at the Marliss Gruver Invite, with an estimated four flights of singles and two of doubles. The tentative schedule is to play a round of each on Friday, and two doubles matches and a single Saturday, with the final singles matches of the weekend occurring on Sunday. There will be no live scoring available. 

There will also not be live scoring available for the Roberta Alison Invitational, but there will be a live stream for Courts 1-6. The schedule of play in Tuscaloosa is slated to begin with an early morning doubles match at 9 a.m., followed by a pair of singles matches Friday. There will be two doubles matches and a single on Saturday to wrap up the event. 21 teams are expected to compete at the event. 

Both schedules are pending weather, but can be moved to indoor facilities.
