Antonaki owns a 12-3 dual match singles mark, while Adaloglou is 10-1 and has claimed her last eight singles decisions. Adaloglou has claimed 18 of her last 20 singles outings, dating back to last season, while Antonaki has won all but three of her last 22 matches.
True freshman Chloé Cirotte has been stellar in her first semester in the Maroon and White, going 9-4 in dual match competition. Marta Falceto (5-2) also owns a winning mark in dual match play thus far this spring. Alexandra Mikhailuk has notched eight victories, Racine has tallied six, and Lilian Poling owns five in team action for State as well.
Know The Foe
Ole Miss enters Friday's match with an 8-7 ledger, 4-5 in the SEC. The Rebels travel to Starkville after dropping their last match then-No. 39 South Carolina in Oxford on Sunday.
Ole Miss is led in the national rankings by Sabina Machalova, who is 28th in this week's latest poll. Machalova teams up with Alexa Bortles to form the nation's 60th-ranked doubles tandem. Tiphanie Fiquet (63rd) and Tereza Janatova (110th) also represent the Rebels in the ITA singles rankings.
The Rebels lead 54-7 in the all-time series with MSU, with the teams having split the last four matches between them and UM having claimed the last two. The last meeting came on March 10, 2019, when the Rebels earned a 4-1 victory in Oxford.
Last Time Out
State fell 4-1 to No. 24 Florida in Starkville this past Saturday. Antonaki earned the Bulldogs' lone point with a 6-3, 6-3 triumph over the Gators' 47th-ranked Marlee Zein on court 2.
