LAST TIME OUT
Tulane (12-6) bounced back from a tough match Sunday at TCU to take down American Athletic Conference foe SMU, 4-0, on Tuesday night for the Green Wave's fifth road win of the season. The Wave clinched the doubles point for the 10th time this spring and earned straight set victories on courts four, five and six, respectively, lock in the shutout.
SCOUTING TEXAS
The Longhorns (12-3) enter Thursday's match with a 9-1 record at home and have won eight of their last nine contests, including a 7-0 win over Tulsa on Sunday afternoon. Texas possesses four ranked singles players, including No. 60 Yuya Ito, No. 70 Harrison Scott, No. 89 Leonardo Telles and No. 110 Christian Sigsgaard, as well as the No. 4 doubles tandem comprising Telles and Rodrigo Banzer.
LAST TIME THEY MET
Texas and Tulane played a thriller in the second round of the 2017 NCAA Championships in Austin that saw the Green Wave take a 3-1 lead, but could not hold on in a 4-3 defeat to the Longhorns.
IN THE RANKINGS
In the latest Oracle/ITA team rankings, Tulane ranks No. 31 nationally, which is currently the second highest of any American Athletic Conference program behind Memphis at No. 16. The Green Wave's highest ranking this season was No. 20, matching their 2017 high, which is also the highest under head coach Mark Booras' leadership.
The Wave has two players listed in the singles poll and one doubles teams ranked. Senior and 2017 All-America choice Constantin Schmitz holds the Wave's highest singles ranking at No. 19, followed by sophomore Ewan Moore at No. 92.
In the USTA College Tennis Poll released on March 28, the Wave maintained its No. 24 national ranking for the third week in a row.
DOUBLES POINT DICTATION
The doubles point is coveted by most teams in dual matches and it has been very indicative of Tulane's success this spring. The Green Wave are 10-0 when winning two of three doubles matches, but just 2-6 when they do not. The Wave's only victories without the doubles point include a pair of 5-2 road wins at Middle Tennessee on March 2 and Auburn on March 15.
CONFERENCE PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Constantin Schmitz has been named American Athletic Conference Player of the Week twice during the 2018 spring season, the first on Jan. 23 and the most recent on March 27. The weekly nods were the sixth and seventh of Schmitz's career, respectively, as he received the honor five times last season in addition to the being named the league's player of the month in October of 2016.
Ewan Moore was chosen as the American Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week on Feb. 27, after posting a 2-0 mark at No. 2 singles and 1-0 at No.1 doubles for the Green Wave, including a straight set victory over the nation's No. 20 player, Giovanni Oradini of 39th-ranked Mississippi State, 6-4, 6-4, on Friday evening. He followed up that performance by outlasting Connor Curry, 7-6(4), 6-4, as part of a 7-0 Tulane rout of 21st-ranked Texas Tech just two days later.
ONE TOUGH SLATE
Tulane increased the intensity of its 2018 spring schedule and will face 10 teams that reached the NCAA Tournament last season. In addition to American Athletic Conference foes USF, Memphis and SMU, the Green Wave will do battle with California, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, Rice, TCU, Texas, and Stanford.
RAISING THE BAR
The Green Wave won 19 dual matches during the 2017 season, the most for the program in the post-Katrina era. The previous best was 16, set in 2016.
