January 05, 2023 | Men's Tennis
ATHENS, Ga. – The seventh-ranked University of Georgia men's tennis team will travel to the Neil Schiff Tennis Center in Coral Gables, Florida, to play in the Miami Spring Invite this weekend, hosted by the University of Miami Hurricanes. This will mark the final tournament in before the dual match season, running Friday, Jan. 6 through Sunday, Jan. 8.
Along with the Bulldogs and Hurricanes, No. 8 Texas and No. 10 South Carolina will also be participating in the invitational. Georgia will begin by playing singles against Miami on Friday at 9 a.m., ET and close the day in doubles against South Carolina at 1 p.m.
Georgia could potentially play all three teams during its dual match season. The Bulldogs will travel to Austin and play the Longhorns on Jan. 22 and play the Gamecocks during their conference schedule in Columbia, South Carolina on April 7. Should both Georgia and Miami win the first match of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Kickoff Weekend, the teams will play each other to earn a spot at the ITA Indoor National Championships.
On Saturday, the Red and Black will start the afternoon by taking on Miami in doubles at 1 p.m. and finish against Texas in singles afterward. Georgia will close the event on Sunday, beginning with South Carolina in singles at 8 a.m. and finishing in doubles against the Longhorns at noon.
The four squads combine for 12 players ranked in singles and four tandems in doubles.
In singles, Georgia has three athletes ranked in the top 25, the most in the field, including No. 1 Ethan Quinn, No. 10 Philip Henning and No. 21 Blake Croyder. Texas has two (No. 3 Eliot Spizzirri and No. 13 Siem Woldeab) and South Carolina has one (No. 15 Toby Samuel). Miami's highest-ranked singles player is No. 73 Dan Martin.
The Bulldogs also lead in ranked doubles pairs with two, consisting of No. 19 Trent Bryde and Quinn and No. 55 Croyder and Britton Johnston. The Gamecocks will bring with them the top-ranked doubles team in Samuel and Connor Thomson, while the Longhorns will field No. T-7 Cleeve Harper and Spizzirri.
Scoring for singles will be in a best-of-three tiebreaker set format, while doubles will be a one-set match.
Live stats for all matches will be available on StatBroadcast on different links for each day. While the event will be live-streamed, only matches featuring Miami will be broadcast. As such, fans can catch the Bulldogs in action on Friday at 9 a.m. for singles and Saturday at 1 p.m. for doubles.
Georgia will begin its dual match season next Sunday, Jan. 15, at 1 p.m. against the No. T-16 Florida State Seminoles at the Scott Speicher Memorial Tennis Center in Tallahassee.
