FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas Men’s Tennis (11-11, 2-7) is approaching its final weekend at the Billingsley Tennis Center for the spring 2022 season. The Razorbacks welcome SEC foe and top 30 team Mississippi State (13-9, 3-6) on Friday before competing in a doubleheader against the Saint Louis Billikens on Saturday.

The Bulldogs enter the weekend with three ranked players including singles standouts Florian Broska (No. 31) and Nemanja Malesevic (No. 68) as well as the doubles combo of Broska and Gregor Ramskogler (No. 37).

Saint Louis comes to town for Arkansas’ fourth doubleheader of the 2022 season on Saturday. The Razorbacks have gone 5-1 in doubleheaders this year, with four of those wins being 7-0 sweeps.
