How We Match Up - Despite Arizona sweeping Utah in their last matchup at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center, the Wildcats have never defeated the Utes in Salt Lake. The doubles point will be a huge wager in tomorrow's match to determine which team starts off singles with an advantage. In Pac-12 play, both teams defeated Oregon and Cal, however the Utes dropped their match 3-4 against Washington whereas the 'Cats swept the Huskies 4-0. Against the Northern Californian teams, Utah came out on top against both Stanford (4-1) and Cal (4-2), but Arizona split, falling 3-4 to Stanford and clinching a close match against Cal 4-3. 

Stacked Teams - The Wildcats are well-represented in the latest batch of ITA national rankings with three individuals in the top 125 and two doubles pairs in the top 90: #35 Jonas Ziverts, #57 Colton Smith, #119 Nick Lagev, #41 Ziverts/Jay Friend and #81 Ziverts/Herman Hoeyeraal. Utah also has three ranked indivduals, #61 Geronimo Busleiman, #82 Francisco Bastias, #94 Franco Capalbo and one national doubles duo, #37 Berk Bugarikj/Patrik Trhac. 

What's Next - After the road trip to Salt Lake, Arizona enters enemy territory to face off against #40 Arizona State in their final regular season match on Saturday, April 22 at 6 p.m. in Tempe. If the 'Cats pull out a win over the Utes, then they will have clinched a share of the Pac-12 Regular Season Championship. They cannot claim the championship title outright unless they defeat the Sun Devils next weekend.
