TUCSON, Ariz. – The Arizona men's tennis team will kick off the regular season with a double header at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center on Wednesday, January 17. The Wildcats will face Arizona Christian University (10 a.m. MST) and Ottawa University Arizona (2 p.m. MST).
 
"I'm excited to get going tomorrow," said head coach Clancy Shields. Almost half of our team has never played a college match, so I'm looking to get our young guys' feet wet. The first college match is always a tricky one, and tomorrow will give us an opportunity to play in a match situation."
 
The Wildcats head into dual play after a successful 2017 season in which the entire team earned a singles winning percentage of .500 or more. The matches will be the first of the regular season for all teams as well as Ottawa University's first match in program history.
 
"The guys have worked hard during the preseason and have come together as a tight knit group," said Shields. "We have some lofty goals this season which will require a tremendous amount of effort from all of us, and we are very eager to get started."
