The Georgia Tech men’s tennis team (6-8, 1-4 ACC) hosts No. 25 Wake Forest Friday at 2:30 p.m. and N.C. State Sunday at 1 p.m. in weekend conference action at the Bill Moore Tennis Center.
“Wake and N.C. State are both good teams and we have played many teams at their same level,” head coach Kenny Thorne said. “We are glad to be playing at home and hope that the home crowd turns out for these key ACC matches. They should be very exciting.”
The Jackets return home after a pair of tough losses to No. 21 Virginia Tech and No. 1 Virginia last weekend. Tech fell 4-3 to the Hokies, before a 6-1 loss to Virginia. Despite a 1-6 record on the road, the Jackets are 4-2 at home.
