Tennis Excellence in Austin

Year in and year out, The University of Texas men and women’s tennis teams rank among the nation’s elite. The 2004 spring season is no different.

Through March 23, the women’s team is off to a 12-2 start and is currently ranked No. 11 in the nation. Head coach Jeff Moore has relied on Croatian natives, freshman Petra Dizdar and sophomore Mia Marovic to spark the Texas attack. Dizdar had an impressive debut this fall and currently is ranked No. 11 in the nation, while Marovic has posted an impressive 11-1 record in doubles matches.

On the men’s side, sophomore Antonio Ruiz has a team-best 20 victories while manning the No. 1 spot in the lineup for head coach Michael Center. With Ruiz leading the way, the Longhorns own a 10-6 record and are ranked No. 17.
