The IU Men's Tennis team begins the regular season tomorrow in Oxford, Miss.
In an exclusive interview with IDS earlier in the week, Hoosiers coach Randy Bloemendaal released his lineup for this weekend.
SINGLES
1. Junior Santiago Gruter
2. Sophomore Jeremy Langer
3. Senior Lachlan Ferguson
4. Freshman Josh MacTaggart
5. Sophomore Will Kendall
6. Sophomore Maxime Armengaud
DOUBLES
1. Ferguson and Langer
2. Kendall and sophomore Stephen Vogl
3. Armengaud and freshman Isade Juneau
Remember to keep in mind that Ferguson, who played No. 1 singles for the Hoosiers a year ago, is still getting over an injury and is not yet 100 percent. He is expected to be in that No. 1 spot again in a couple of weeks, but Gruter and Langer have been playing very well of late, putting Bloemendaal is in an interesting situation.
IU doesn't have a player ranked highly this season, but it is so solid in the 3-6 range that the Hoosiers should be able to win a lot of matches.
WEEKEND PREDICTIONS: IU goes 2-1 to open the season, falling to No. 10 Ole Miss and defeating both Columbia and No. 54 Arkansas.
