TULSA, Okla. — The University of Tulsa men's tennis team will host Bryant (0-4), Montana State (0-1) and No. 3 TCU (2-0) in the Michael D. Case Tennis Center this weekend to open the dual-match season. It is the men's first home action since the ITA All-American Championships held in early October.

The Golden Hurricane will face Bryant first, starting at 10 a.m. on Friday, followed by a dual with Montana State later in the day at 6 p.m. On Sunday, Tulsa will face its first nationally-ranked opponent of the year in TCU.

All matches will be streamed on Track.Tennis.

Bryant is on a four-match losing skid to start the season, all coming on the road last weekend. Their losses came at the hands of Arizona State, Illinois, Wichita State and No. 15 Arizona.

Montana State opened its season at home against North Dakota last week, falling short 5-2 against the Fighting Hawks. The Bobcats will face Oral Roberts on Thursday before playing TU on Friday.

TCU comes to Tulsa ranked third in the country. Last week, the Horned Frogs took down SMU and Abilene Christian in their home opener. In the fall, No. 4-ranked doubles team Alexander Jong and Lui Maxted finished as runners-up in the doubles ITA National Fall Championship.

The No. 53-ranked duo of Adham Gaber and Ezequiel Santalla enters the dual-match season 7-6 overall. Together, they went 3-1 last week during North Carolina's Allen Morris Invitational hidden duals.

Senior Kody Pearson—the 2022 American Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Year—enters the 2023 dual-match season on a high note. The Sydney, Australia native won his first two singles matches of the year last week, including a three-set victory over No. 9 Ryan Seggerman (North Carolina).
