Yes. Women’s. Mizzou doesn’t do men’s.
I don’t want to knock on men’s tennis, I’m actually a fan, but it simply makes no sense as a D1 sport. D1 men’s tennis does nothing for the sport itself or for the schools sponsoring it. All it does is lock out a title9 wrestling or hockey team.
I don't even know what you mean by "does nothing for the sport itself," but you can say the same about wrestling.

D1 wrestling is the top of the sport. The athletes move on to the Olympics, to be great coaches, and also go pro in everything from MMA to WWE.
I can’t think of a famous pro tennis player who even finished high school and there are lots of competitive opportunities at every level of college for amateurs who want to play while getting an education. D1 tennis isn’t on the map as far as the sport goes, so why have it?
