First Round Pushed Back to Saturday Morning

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Due to inclement weather that postponed Friday's match, the 29th-ranked Arizona men's tennis team will play their first NCAA Tournament match since 2010 against No. 21 Oklahoma in the First Round on Saturday, May 4 at 10 a.m. MST. The winner of Saturday's match will take on the winner of the Texas A&M-Texas A&M Corpus Christi match on Sunday.
 
"This is what you play for all year, the opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament," head coach Clancy Shields said. "We have a tough task ahead of us tomorrow with Oklahoma, but our guys are excited for the challenge. We have had an incredible year, and I know our guys don't want this journey to end. They will be ready to give it their all and leave everything they have on the court tomorrow."
 
Filip Malbasic leads Arizona with 18 singles wins on the season, which has earned him a ranking of No. 79 in the country. Carlos Hassey and Jonas Maier are second on the team with 15 wins, Alejandro Reguant has won 13 times, No. 66 Jonas Ziverts has collected 12 wins and Igor Karpovets has come out victorious 10 times this season.
 
The doubles squad of Malbasic and Reguant has been dominant all season at the No. 2 spot in the lineup, winning nine of their 12 decisions this season.
 
The Sooners feature three top-80 singles players and the 25th-ranked doubles pairing in the country.
