MACON – The Mercer men's tennis team will play the first of two remaining home matches on Saturday morning when the Bears suit up to take on Southern Conference rival Wofford at the Copelan Tennis Complex. First serves are scheduled for 10 a.m. and admission is free.

Fans unable to make the trip to Middle Georgia can still follow all of the action for free via a live scoring link provided by the MU athletics department.
Â
The Bears (7-11, 2-2 SoCon) will ride a hot streak into the weekend having won each of their last three outings, including a 5-2 comeback triumph at Wofford on Wednesday in which the Orange & Black raked in a quintet of singles victories. Senior Nemanja Stefanovic broke a 2-2 tie on the team scoreboard with a 6-4, 6-4 victory at No. 2 singles, while Alex Aldaz and Hod'Abalo Isak Padio closed out the afternoon with singles wins of their own.
Â
Padio has collected a team-high 17 singles victories during the 2025-26 campaign, but Stefanovic will ride the singles hot streak into Saturday with nine triumphs in his last 11 matchups. The story has been much the same on the doubles court where the Padio/Stefanovic tandem has won nine of its last 11 doubles contests as well.
Â
The Terriers (6-9, 1-4) will roll into Macon riding a different wave of emotion. Wofford has dropped six of its last eight dual matches and had its losing streak stretched to five matches with a 7-0 loss at East Tennessee State on March 27. Sophomore Jack Burdell, an Atlanta native, will carry a team-best nine singles wins into Saturday with a mix of success on Court Nos. 5 and 6. The Terriers have captured six doubles points this season led by the No. duo of Julian Brager-Carlsen and Valdemar Dubin who have won four of its last six doubles contests.
Â
The Bears and Terriers have split 24 previous meetings in a series that dates back to the 1995-96 season. Mercer will ride a five-match series win streak into the weekend, including a 7-0 road win and a 4-0 win in the SoCon Tournament last year.
