Virginia's top-ranked men's tennis team looks to extend its five-game winning streak this weekend as the team takes on No. 47 Kentucky Friday and No. 51 Harvard Sunday at the Boyd Tinsley Courts at the Boar's Head Sports Club.
The Cavaliers (5-0) return to play after this past weekend's upset against Michigan, during which the Cavaliers came from behind after losing the doubles matchup to dominate singles and win the match 5-2.
Kentucky enters Friday's match after falling to Indiana 4-3; the Wildcats (4-2) were unable to win doubles tiebreakers and a decisive singles third set.
Virginia should be prepared for face-offs against top Wildcats such as No. 31 junior Bruno Agostinelli, freshmen Brad Cox and Alberto Gonzalez and the No. 21 doubles tandem of Agostinelli and Cox. Agostinelli has earned an individual record of 10-5, while he and partner Cox are currently 5-2.
Sunday, Virginia and Harvard will meet on the court as the Crimson return to action after a 6-1 blowout against Purdue this past weekend. The Crimson (2-0) took the lead early in doubles and then went on to snatch five of six singles matches.
Virginia should also look out for doubles tandems of senior Ashwin Kumar and junior Sasha Ermakov as well as senior Dan Nguyen and freshman Aba Omodele, both of whom won their doubles matches convincingly, 8-6 in the team's Purdue win.
Virginia's own No. 1 duo of seniors Somdev Devvarman and Treat Huey, however, may prove to be a relentless threat for both teams.
After this weekend's pair of matches, the Cavaliers will compete at the National Team Indoors before returning to the Boyd Tinsley Courts at the Boar's Head Sports Club Feb. 23 as they go up against Old Dominion and Boston College in a one-day double-header.
