WACO, Texas – The No. 4-ranked, No. 2 seeded Baylor men’s tennis team is set for the semifinals of the Big 12 Championship on Saturday, facing No. 12 and third-seeded Texas.

The Bears (23-3, 4-1 Big 12) will take on Texas (16-9, 3-2 Big 12) at 3 p.m. on the public courts at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center.

The Longhorns bested No. 54-ranked and sixth-seeded OSU on Friday, winning 4-0 to move on to the semifinals.

BU previously faced UT earlier in the season, besting the Longhorns most recently at 6-0 in Austin for Big 12 play and 6-1 in Waco for non-conference play in early February.

Baylor will be the home team in the match. Against the Longhorns, No. 3 Adrian Boitan is 2-0, both against Micah Braswell on court one. No. 43 Matias Soto went 2-0 on court two as well, both against Pierre-Yves Bailly. Court three with No. 77 Sven Lah went UT’s way in one match and unfinished in the other against Richard Ciamarra and Eliot Spizzirri, respectively. On court four, Marko Miladinović and Finn Bass both won their matches against UT, with Miladinović besting Siem Woldeab while Bass bested Ciamarra.

On court five, Bass bested Cleeve Harper in the first match while No. 70 Tadeas Paroulek bested Woldeab in the second. Juan Pablo Grassi Mazzuchi took the first match against Evin McDonald and took the second against Harper as well.

For doubles, the No. 6 pairing of Lah and Bass went 1-0 on court one, going unfinished in the conference matchup in Austin. On court two, No. 15-ranked Grassi Mazzuchi and Soto went 2-0 against Bailly/Woldeab and Spizzirri/Woldeab. Court three of Boitan and Paroulek went 2-0 against Chih Chi Huang and Braswell.

Boitan went 17-0 in the regular season, all on court one, for the first time in BU’s history. He’s the second to go undefeated overall in a regular-season schedule, with Igor Lovrak went undefeated on in 2003.
