Preseason Team Rankings are out. Women - #7 Men - #3

I read it was due to a clearing eligibility as to why Timo will be redshirting this Spring.

From the coach: Hi UT Tennis Fan, Happy New Year! My apologies for getting this to you later than I had hoped, but I am writing to let you know about this year's Season Kick-Off and Senior Banquet on Saturday, January 13 at 5:30 pm. The men's and women's tennis teams will preview the upcoming season, and each team's seniors will speak about their experiences at Texas. We have a very special group of seniors this year, so I hope you will join us. Please see that attached invitation, and RSVP to Megan Hoffman by the end of the week if at all possible. I'll be back in touch in a few days with some information about our season tune up at the Miami Invitational this coming weekend. Until then, have a great week, and Hook'em! Sincerely, Bruce Berque

It was announced by the coach that Timo will be redshirting this Spring. I wonder if the Virginia match will be played indoors seeing it'll be Winter when they are scheduled to play. This will be a great year, nonetheless!

Rec'd this message from the Coach. Hi UT Tennis Fan, Last week I attended the Celebration of Life Memorial Service for Coach Snyder. It was a beautiful ceremony, and everyone who spoke did so eloquently about the impact that Coach Snyder had on their lives. It was great to see so many former players their to pay tribute to Coach. Just about all of our players also made it out, taking time out from their exam schedule. The full ceremony, including a very nice slide show, is available for viewing at this link. Our players are now all done with their exams, and have returned home for a the holiday break. We will begin play at the Miami Invitational in Coral Gables January 5-7. That will be an individual event (in dual match format), and will serve as a tune up before the dual match season, which begins at home on January 12. We play Lamar on Friday, the 12th at 4 pm, and follow that up with a match against Abilene Christian on Sunday, January 14 at 12:00 pm. In between, on Saturday evening, January 13 we will host the annual UT Men's and Women's Tennis Kick-Off Banquet. We will be in touch shortly with details and the official invitation, but I do hope you can save the date, and join us as we preview the season ahead and pay tribute to a very special group of seniors (Micah Braswell, Cleeve Harper, Evin McDonald, Eliot Spizzirri, Eshan Talluri, and Siem Woldeab). Best wishes for the holidays, and we will be back in touch soon. Hook'em! Sincerely, Bruce Berque

Rec'd this message from the coach. HI UT Tennis Fan, Although this is typically a quiet time with respect to tennis for our players as they shift their attention to exams, three Longhorns were also busy in competition last week. Lucas Brown reached the final of the $25k UTR Pro Tennis Tournament in Houston, Pierre-Yves Bailly led the Belgium squad to a 5th place finish at the Master'U BNP Paribas Championship in France, while Eliot Spizzirri led TEAM USA to the Championship. Looking ahead to the 2024 dual match season, we will kick things off with a tune up individual tournament in Miami January 5-7, and then begin the dual match season on January 12 at home vs Lamar. We will host our annual Season KIck-Off Banquet with the women's team on January 13, and then return to the courts on Sunday, January 14 vs Abilene Christian. We will then face off vs defending National Champion Virginia at home on January 18. We will have a big squad in place for the coming semester, as 4 new players will join us. Gilles-Arnaud Bailly will compete with the team, while Evan Burnett, Timo Legout, and Calvin Wang will redshirt (updated roster). Sincerely, Bruce Berque

We'll host next weekend if Stanford were to lose this weekend.
