ATHENS, Ga. — The No. 12-ranked University of Georgia men's tennis team is set to host the No. 3-ranked Tennessee Volunteers this Friday at 2:30 p.m. at Henry Feild Stadium. 

With temperatures forecasted to be in the mid-50's under partly sunny skies, the stage is set for a fantastic Friday on the outdoor courts. More information regarding fan attendance can be found below. 

Friday's matchup features two of the top teams in the SEC and in the nation. The Bulldogs enter the contest with a 5-0 record, while Tennessee is 11-1, with wins against No. 3 TCU and No. 5 Texas. 

Georgia has put together a strong lineup from top to bottom this season, headlined by Trent Bryde's 4-1 mark at the No. 1 spot. Blake Croyder — who is riding a 21-match win streak in dual competition is 4-0 and recently played at the No. 2 court for the first time in his career. 

Erik Grevelius is also undefeated on the singles courts. Graduate transfer Billy Rowe boasts a 5-0 mark in dual matches and a team-best 9-4 mark since the fall. 

In doubles, the Bulldogs have used five different combinations so far this season. The team of Grevelius and Philip Henning has won four-straight matches.
