Cincinnati, Ohio - The Wake Forest men's tennis team begins its 2005-06 campaign at the Cincinnati Collegiate Invitational this weekend, a five-team event beginning Friday. The Demon Deacons face Brown, Indiana, Louisville and Michigan State in the Queen City.
For head coach Jeff Zinn, a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, the weekend event will be a homecoming of sorts.
The Demon Deacons return nine players, including five of the top six, from last year's 17-7 team that advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The veterans include senior Brett Ross, who led the Deacons last year with 26 singles wins and is ranked 91st in the preseason; junior Andrew Hamar, who posted a 20-10 singles record as a sophomore and is ranked 70th in the preseason; and junior Todd Paul, a two-time All-ACC selection who is ranked 33rd in the preseason poll.
The weekend's schedule is as follows: Friday, 10:30 a.m. -- doubles vs. Louisville Friday, 11:30 a.m. -- singles vs. Brown Friday, 2:30 p.m. -- doubles vs. Michigan State Saturday, 10:30 a.m. -- doubles vs. Brown Saturday, 11:30 a.m. -- singles vs. Louisville Saturday, 2:30 p.m. -- doubles vs. Indiana Saturday, 3:30 p.m. -- singles vs. Michigan State Sunday, 11:30 a.m. -- singles vs. Indiana
