MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Tulane University men's tennis (7-13) dropped its road matchup against American Athletic Conference foe No. 32 Memphis (16-5) 4-0 Friday evening.

The Green Wave fell behind early as the Tigers got the first win of doubles action on court one. Tulane responded on court two as Billy Suarez and Benji Jacobson evened the score in doubles, but Memphis ultimately won the doubles point with a victory on court three.
