ABILENE, Texas – The Baylor men’s tennis team will travel to Abilene for a Sunday doubleheader. The Bears face off against McMurry University at 10 a.m. CT and Abilene Christian at 3 p.m. CT at ACU’s Judi and Cecil Eager Tennis Pavilion.

BU’s overall singles record this season is 40-8, while their doubles record is 16-6. No player has more than two losses in singles play.



The Wildcats’ Deli has had a successful freshman campaign, standing at 6-1 on the season to lead the team, while Dario Kmet has won every matchup on court one so far this year. In doubles, Kmet and Daniel Morozov have gone 3-1 on court one, while the Deli brothers are 4-0 at the No. 3 spot.
