NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane men's tennis team heads to Florida to face a pair of familiar American Athletic Conference foes, beginning with a trip to UCF on Wednesday, March 6, followed by a matchup at USF two days later.
The Green Wave (4-8) will face UCF at 5 p.m. (CT) at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona, Fla., before continuing on to Tampa to face USF on Friday at 12:30 p.m.
SCOUTING UCF
After starting the spring with four consecutive losses, the Knights (6-5) enter Wednesday's match with wins in five straight and six of their last seven contests, including their most recent victory coming in a 4-0 victory over 29th-ranked Miami on Sunday afternoon. Gabriel Decamps leads the team with a 4-2 record at No. 1 singles, as the doubles team comprising Trey Hilderbrand and Bogdan Pavel own a 6-2 mark at the top spot in the lineup.
Tulane defeated UCF, 4-2, in the semifinals of last year's American Athletic Conference Championship.
SCOUTING USF
The Bulls (6-4) have won four in a row and own a 5-0 record at home this season entering Friday's battle, as they share one common opponent with the Green Wave in Mississippi State. USF is led by Alberto Barroso-Campos, who owns a No. XX national ranking and a 9-1 record at the No. 1 spot in singles in 2019. Freshman Chase Ferguson has also been solid for the Bulls, posting a 5-2 mark at the No. 2 singles position.
Tulane and USF last went head-to-head in the 2018 American Athletic Conference Championship final, as the Green Wave held on for a 4-3 win in Dallas to end the Bulls' four-year reign atop the league.
IN THE ITA RANKINGS
In the latest Oracle/ITA national team rankings released on March 5, the Green Wave received a No. 39 listing in the poll.
Tulane possesses two singles players listed in the ITA's singles rankings, as Luis Erlenbusch holds the Wave's top singles mark at No. 70, followed Ewan Moore at No. 88.
On January 30, Tulane was ranked No. 17 in the team polls, marking the highest for the Green Wave in the post-Katrina era.
ITA NATIONAL TEAM INDOOR BERTH
With back-to-back wins Jan. 26-27 over No. 18 Tennessee and No. 19 Florida State in Tallahassee, Tulane punched its ticket to the 45th-annual ITA National Team Indoor Championships for the first time in program history.
AWARDS IN THE AMERICAN
Junior Ewan Moore was named American Athletic Conference Player of the Week on Jan. 29 for the first time this season and the second time in his career. Moore went 2-0 at the No. 1 singles position and clinched both matches to secure consecutive top-20 upset wins for the Green Wave at ITA Kickoff Weekend. He clinched a three-set win in a third set tiebreaker over 45th-ranked Timo Stodder to seal the win over No. 18 Tennessee on Jan. 26, before topping host and No. 19 Florida State's Aziz Douglas in another three-set battle the following day.
THE BOORAS EFFECT
Head coach and director of tennis Mark Booras begins his 10th season at the helm of the program and has led Tulane to three straight NCAA Tournament appearances. Tulane has increased its final ITA team ranking each of the last six seasons, finishing No. 28 overall last spring. In addition to producing four straight singles All-America honorees, Booras was named the 2018 American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year and has been selected Louisiana Coach of the Year each of the last four seasons.
