THE FLATS – The much-anticipated showdown between Georgia Tech men’s tennis and archrival Georgia on Feb. 9 will be broadcast live on Tennis Channel and Tennis Channel Everywhere, the USTA announced on Tuesday. First serve is scheduled for 7 p.m.

As part of the 2018 USTA College MatchDay, the Yellow Jackets join five men’s tennis programs and 14 teams overall in the showcase, with Tech battling the No. 4 Bulldogs in its first nationally televised dual match under the lights of the 1,200-seat USTA National Campus collegiate stadium at Lake Nona in Orlando, Fla.

Veteran tennis broadcaster Leif Shiras and former world No. 4 James Blake will be on the call, alongside former world No. 5 Jimmy Arias, who will serve as the “sideline” reporter.
