Hi UT Tennis Fan,
I hope you had a great weekend! We got back late last night from a long SEC road trip, where we picked up a pair of hard fought wins, 4-1 over Arkansas (recap) on Friday, and 4-3 over LSU (recap) on Sunday. The wins moved our record to 17-3 for the season, and 8-0 in the SEC, with 6 regular season conference matches to go. Our last two scheduled home matches will be this weekend, when we will take on Kentucky on Friday, March 28 at 6pm, and South Carolina on Sunday, March 30 at 12 pm. These are two of the better teams in the conference, and it is going to take everything we have. If you are in town, we would sure appreciate you coming out, and recruiting all your friends to join you. Sunday's match will be senior day for Pierre-Yves Bailly, and he will be recognized for his outstanding contributions to the program just before the start of the match. So please plan on showing up by 11:45 am to make sure you get a good seat, and so you are there to pay tribute to PY!
If you can make it out Friday and Sunday, you will be sure to see many familiar faces, as it will be alumni weekend. UT men's tennis players of multiple generations, including last year's seniors Eliot, Eshan, Micah, Evin, and Siem, will be out to support the current squad. Rumor has it there may even be a GA Bailly sighting, as we are hoping he will be here to support his brother. It will be fun for you to come out, catch up with the formers, and help them root on this current team as it continues its quest for an SEC title!
Have a great week, and hope to see you this coming weekend! Hook'em!
Sincerely,
Bruce Berque
