WACO, Texas – After opening the season ranked No. 15, Baylor men’s tennis (5-0) made the jump to No. 6 in the latest Oracle/ITA team rankings and will be promptly met with a pair of top-five opponents this weekend.

The Bears will travel to Austin to meet No. 4 Texas (4-0) on Saturday at Noon at the Texas Tennis Center, followed by a home date against No. 3 TCU (3-0) on Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Hawkins Indoor Tennis Center.
