COLUMBUS, Ohio – No. 10 Baylor men’s tennis has another chance against a nationally ranked No. 1 team on Tuesday, as the Bears face Ohio State on Tuesday at the Ty Tucker Tennis Center at 5 p.m. CT.



In the Buckeyes’ 9-0 home record, they have swept eight opponents and only allowed one point to be scored against them with a win from Illinois on the fifth singles court.



Ohio State holds a 6-1 series record over the Bears, with BU winning the first-ever dual match in the NCAA quarterfinals en route to the 2004 national championship.



Baylor is 3-12 all-time against No. 1 teams, taking two wins against then-No. 1 TCU last season and falling to then-No. 1 Virginia in the fourth match of the 2023 season.



In the first individual rankings of the spring season, the Bears have Finn Bass at No. 44, Tadeas Paroulek at No. 117 and Juan Pablo Grassi Mazzuchi at No. 125 in the singles rankings. In doubles, Bass and Grassi Mazzuchi are BU’s lone ranked pair at No. 9.



Paroulek leads the Bears with singles wins this season, boasting a 6-1 record, with the six wins evenly split between Courts One and Two.



Paroulek also finds the No. 1 spot in doubles wins combined with Zsombor Velcz at a perfect 6-0 record.



Live scoring and court feeds are available from Playsight online<https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/mens-live-tennis/>.
