@CanesMensTennis Set to Take on the Cardinals

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami men’s tennis program will face its fourth-straight opponent ranked in the ITA top 40, when they travel to Louisville, Ky., Sunday at noon to face No. 34 University of Louisville at the Bass-Rudd Tennis Center.

Sunday’s 12 p.m. matchup will be the fifth meeting between the Hurricanes and Cardinals. UM leads the all-time series 3-1, with the series tied at one match apiece since UL joined the ACC in the fall of 2014. The Canes most recently took down the Cardinals, 5-2, on April 10, 2016.

After being tied 2-2 to begin last season’s match, Miami won three-straight courts to take home the victory. Seniors Max Andrews and Jesse Flores, along with juniors Piotr Lomacki and Niclas Genovese each earned singles victories.

Miami (6-6, 0-3 ACC) will enter Sunday’s match with Lomacki at No. 73 in the ITA singles rankings, as released March 21.

Louisville (11-3, 2-1 ACC) features the 22nd-ranked doubles tandem in the nation with Parker Wynn and Sean Donohue.

The Hurricanes head into Sunday’s matchup looking to snap a three-match skid, after falling to then-No. 17 Georgia Tech, 4-3, then-No. 39 Minnesota, 4-3, and at then-No. 28 Florida State, 7-0.

Next weekend the Hurricanes will travel to North Carolina to take on a pair of top-10 foes, beginning with ninth-ranked North Carolina Friday, March 31 at 2 p.m. Miami will wrap up both the weekend and its four-match road stretch two days later, when it faces No. 1 Wake Forest Sunday at noon.
