Bears have three singles players, one doubles duo in initial fall rankings
TEMPE, Ariz. – The Baylor men's tennis team placed three players in the Oracle/Intercollegiate Tennis Association's preseason fall rankings, which were released Tuesday.
Three Bears were named in the singles rankings, led by junior Matias Soto at No. 14, followed by junior Sven Lah at No. 44 and sophomore Adrian Boitan at No. 49.
Soto compiled a 22-9 singles season while playing primarily at the No. 2 spot for the Bears while Lah went a team-best 29-9 at the middle of the lineup. Both players were All-Big 12 honorees in 2019.
