KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The No. 8 Texas A&M men's tennis travels to No. 5 Tennessee Sunday at 12 p.m. (CT) at Barksdale Stadium. The Aggies enter the match at 14-6 this season and 6-4 against SEC foes while the Volunteers carry a 20-3 record overall and a 9-2 mark in league play.

The Aggies slid a couple spots in the latest edition of the team rankings to No. 8 after splitting matches last week against LSU and No. 6 Texas. In the singles poll, the Aggie's Hady Habib fell one spot to No. 2 after spending a week atop the rankings. Following closely behind is Valentin Vacherot at No. 5, the senior ranks third on A&M's all-time singles wins list. Rounding out the ranked Aggies singles players are No. 64 Carlos Aguilar, No. 77 Noah Schachter, No. 78 Pierce Rollins and No. 85 Barnaby Smith. In the doubles poll Aguilar and Bjorn Thomson skyrocketed to the No. 8 spot after collecting six ranked wins this season including a pair over teams ranked in the top-10.
LAST TIME OUT
The No. 8 Texas A&M men's tennis fell 4-2 to No. 10 Georgia Friday evening at the Dan Magill Tennis Center.
The Aggies opened the match claiming the doubles point in thrilling fashion with tiebreaker wins on courts one and two. The Bulldog dup of Phillip Henning and Erik Grevelius topped A&M's Noah Schachter and Pranav Kumar 6-4 on court three before the Maroon & White stormed back to take the match's first point.

As play transitioned to singles action the momentum shifted into Georgia's favor as they claimed first sets on five of six courts. No. 21 Bryde tripped up No. 5 Vacherot 6-3, 6-3 on court one to even the match at one-all. No. 78 Rollins put A&M ahead for the final time, 2-1, as he defeated Rowe 6-4, 6-2 on court five.
