MATCHDAY INFO
Mercer (7-11, 1-1) vs. UNCG (4-17, 0-5)
Sunday, April 2 | 11 a.m. | Macon, Ga. | LeRoy Peddy Tennis Center

RECENT ACTION
The Bears are coming off two close 4-3 losses against Alabama State and Chattanooga and have been idle for a week. Andrew Branicki and Samuel Barrow teamed up at doubles two with Marceau Foulihoux and Nemanja Stefanovic competing at doubles three. Both pairs defeated ASU but fell to UTC.

Stefanovic defeated Sam Bajracharya at the third singles 6-4, 6-2 and Foulihoux defeated Matis Amier 6-2, 6-3 at the fourth singles slot. The two would be the only singles wins over the Hornets, but Lucas Dini, Foulihoux and Barrow went on to get singles wins against the Mocs.

SCOUTING UNCG
The Spartans are on an eight-match losing streak and have not earned a Southern Conference win so far this season, despite having five opportunities to do so. Most recently UNCG lost to Wake Forest 1-6 and UNC Asheville 0-7.

David Flisberg and John Gabelic have competed at the first doubles slot all season and are 7-11 together so far. Christopher Johns and Tymofiy Khrystyuk have been playing at the second doubles slot and are 6-8 so far. The third doubles slot has seen many Spartans players try to claim the spot but most recently Wyatt Cannon and Harrison Gwynn have been chosen to give it a shot. The two have only played two matches together and are 1-1 together after defeating Wake Forest.

In singles play, Khrystyuk holds an 8-11 record at the first slot, going 2-3 in conference play. Andrew Black has the second-best record going 6-12 but has lost all three conference appearances and has been floating around in singles slots.

In the last matchup between the two teams, the Spartans defeated Mercer 5-2 and the Bears have not claimed a victory over the team since the 2021 season.
