MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Lady Tiger sophomore netter Liza Tymchenko was recently selected to play in the US National Indoor Tennis Championships this week at The Racquet Club of Memphis.

Tymchenko will square off against Maria Sanchez (USA) at 11:30 a.m. today on the Stadium Court after receiving a wild card to begin play in the qualifying round.

A native of Kharkov, Ukraine, Tymchenko has had a successful year for No. 51 Memphis with a 17-6 overall record and a 2-2 mark this spring in dual matches.
