LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech men's tennis team will continue their 1999 season this weekend by traveling to face in-state foes TCU on Saturday, February 27, at 1 p.m. and the University of Texas-Arlington on Sunday, February 28 at 1 pm. The Red Raiders, 5-1, on the season, will look to rebound from losing their first match of the season last time out against Nebraska on Febrary 21.
TCU and UTA played each other on Wednesday, February 24. UTA won the match by the score of 4-3.
TCU will enter Saturday's match with a record of 3-2. They are led by No. 1 player Esteban Carril who was ranked No. 5 nationally in the last rankings poll. Carril will look to rebound against Texas Tech after having dropped his match to Christian Jaeger of UTA 6-2, 6-4.
UTA has a mark of 2-3 on the 1999 season. With the upset victory over TCU, the Mavericks will look to continue their momentum with Sunday's match.
"TCU has a solid team and an incredible No. 1 player in Esteban Carril," Director of Tennis Tim Siegel said. "UTA had a great win against TCU and is definitely on a roll. These matches will be two more solid tests for our team."
