Fayetteville – The No. 53 University of Arkansas men’s tennis team continues Southeastern Conference play this weekend with a road trip to No. 25 South Carolina on Friday and No. 20 Florida on Sunday.
Arkansas is going into the weekend with an overall record of 12-10. The Razorbacks went 1-2 last week defeating UT Pan American in College Station, Texas, on Tuesday while falling to No. 12 Mississippi State and No. 7 Ole Miss last weekend.
The Razorbacks made strides last weekend in doubles play taking the doubles point in all three matches. The junior duo of Manfred Jeske and Mike Nott moved up to the No. 35-ranked doubles team in the country after a solid win over the No. 14 team from Mississippi State.
“We have been playing really solid doubles as of late,” head coach Robert Cox said. “We now just need to keep that momentum going throughout singles and we will be good.”
