No. 23 Baylor men’s tennis (18-6, 1-2 Big 12) will close out its Big 12 road schedule with a Thursday matchup against sixth-ranked TCU at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center in Fort Worth. First serve is slated for 5:30 p.m. CT.

Historically, Baylor trails the all-time series against the Horned Frogs, 33-24, but hold a 19-7 lead under head coach Matt Knoll.

Junior Johannes Schretter leads the Bears in the latest ITA singles rankings at No. 64, and sophomore Bjoern Peterson checks in at No. 74. Freshman Sven Lah leads the team with a seven-match winning streak in singles action, followed by Will Little with three consecutive singles matches won.

Alex Rybakov leads TCU in the latest ITA singles rankings at No. 19, followed by No. 57 Alastair Gray, No. 69 Trevor Johnson and No. 91 Guillermo Nuñez.
