The top-ranked and undefeated Georgia men’s tennis team (26-0) will begin its journey for its fifth national title when it hosts Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round of the NCAA Tournament May 11 or 12 at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.

The winner will face Auburn or Georgia State in the second round, also a the Magill Center, with the winner staying in Athens for the Sweet Sixteen. Included in Georgia’s bracket are rivals Florida and Georgia Tech, which play one another in first-round action.

“Our guys are very excited about the draw,” said men’s head coach Manuel Diaz. “We expected a tough draw, as it is every year. Right now we have to focus on the first and second rounds. I couldn’t be more proud of what we have done so far. We have come to play in every match and we have some convincing scores but that does not mean it was easy. It is because we have been able to take care of business at every spot, we have put in plenty of good, old-fashioned hard work.”

The second-ranked Georgia women’s team (21-1) learned its fate as well Tuesday, and will host South Carolina State (21-5) either May 11 or 12 at the Magill Complex, with the winner facing either North Carolina State (13-10) or Auburn (13-9) in the second round.

“Any time you can play at home in front of your fans and on the courts you are playing on every day you have to like your chances,” added women’s head coach Jeff Wallace. “At the same time, we realize there are going to be some great teams coming in here for the first and second rounds and beyond. I think our side of the draw is wide open. There are a lot of great teams that can come to Athens and do some great things. I think it will come down to who brings it that week. ”
