ATHENS, Ga. — The Georgia men's tennis team continues its three-match homestand tomorrow at 5 p,m., as the Bulldogs take on No. 8 Florida at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. 

While the Gators defeated Georgia, 5-2, last season, the Bulldogs hold a 60-21 all-time record over Florida. 

"Tomorrow's match is a great opportunity for our guys to showcase their best tennis against a very good Florida team," Georgia head coach Manuel Diaz said. "As usual, it should be a great battle and will give our fans a terrific chance to see an exciting match."
