WACO, Texas - After a 4-0 home stand, the fifth-ranked Baylor's men's tennis team will travel to No. 47 Memphis Sunday and then play at No. 9 Mississippi Tuesday.

The Bears are 10-2 on the year, following a 4-0 shutout of No. 13 TCU to open Big 12 play Tuesday. The Bears are 3-1 away from home this year, but just 1-0 in true road contests, after beating No. 40 Tulsa, 4-1, on Feb. 6.

BU is led by 11th-ranked Julian Lenz, who is 7-1 on the season. Baylor has two other ranked players in singles with Tony Lupieri and Max Tchoutakian listed at No. 23 and 40 respectively in the latest ITA rankings. The Bears are led in doubles with Lupieri joining Felipe Rios to be ranked No. 19, while Lupieri and Zsiga are listed as the country's 57th-best duo.

The Bears will roll in to play Memphis Sunday at 1 p.m. The Tigers are 6-3 overall and 4-0 at home. Memphis has two ranked singles players in No. 50 Andrew Watson and No. 54 Connor Glennon. Baylor swept the Tigers 4-0 last season in Waco and leads the all-time series 4-0. It is Baylor's first trip to Memphis.

BU will then go to Oxford, Miss., Tuesday at 5 p.m. The Rebels are 9-3 overall and a perfect 5-0 at home. The Bears shutout Mississippi, 4-0 in Waco last season, but trail in the all-time series 3-2. Baylor did lose in its last trip to Oxford, 4-2, on March 14, 2013. Mississippi has three ranked singles players, including No. 60 Nik Scholtz, No. 63 Stefan Lindmark and No. 117 Ricardo Jorge.
