CLEMSON, S.C. – The Clemson Men’s Tennis team will compete in another home doubleheader as they take on ETSU and The Citadel at the Duckworth Family Tennis Facility on Saturday. The Tigers will battle the Bucs at noon and the Bulldogs at 5 p.m. The live stream for the matches is available here.
The Tigers got off to a hot start last weekend, defeating Furman 7-0 and Wofford 6-1 at the Duckworth Family Tennis Facility. Redshirt freshman Nini Dica earned his first dual singles win and Ethan Silva registered his first dual doubles win.
Clemson will face ETSU for only the fifth time in the history of the programs. Clemson owns the series 4-1 and most recently defeated the Bucs in 2022 6-1 at home. The Tigers also hold the advantage against The Citadel 40-13-1 and have won the last 28 matches. The last meeting between the two teams was in 2022, with Clemson sweeping the Bulldogs, 7-0.
Head Coach Robbie Weiss enters his fourth season with the Tigers and looks to improve upon a 13 win season last year, the most for Clemson since 2016. Weiss added assistant coach Austin Rapp to the staff in the offseason. Rapp was a four year player and All-American at UCLA and was previously the volunteer assistant coach at the University of Texas.
The Tigers return eight student-athletes from last year’s roster, including ITA’s No. 118 player in the country in Ryuhei Azuma. Head Coach Robbie Weiss also brings in five-star recruit, Silva who looks to make an impact.
