After an emotional, 'personal' weekend sweep of UCLA and USC, the 12th-ranked Arizona men's tennis team faces Oregon and Washington on senior weekend.
Ari Koslow Special to the Arizona Daily Star Arizona's pair of stirring victories over UCLA and USC last week really meant something to Wildcats men's tennis coach Clancy Shields.
“The football players were like, 'Man this is fun, I want to come back to more matches,' ” Shields said. “We got to keep drawing more people to the matches. It’s fun, it’s entertaining and we got interesting guys. That’s my mission ... we get more and more people to the matches, have big crowds, have an electric energy, and the guys are going to practice that much harder knowing people are going to come to watch.
Moving upThe new ITA rankings were released Tuesday, and UA jumped from No. 18 to No. 12 in the country. If they can remain in the top 16, the Wildcats would be in line to host during regionals, something Arizona just missed out on last year. “What I told the team yesterday is, now we’re in the fourth quarter,” Shields said. “This is the most important time of the year, the most important of all of this, and now we have to really sacrifice.”“We need to respect the game and every opponent we play and not think about where we rank right now or where we can be in the future,” Ziverts said.
Celebrating the seniorsIt's senior week for the Wildcats. Fifth-year seniors Ziverts and Jared Horwood, as well as Hiroki Sakagawa, will be recognized on Sunday. "Last year to win the Pac-12 regular-season championship for the first time in program history is something that us as brothers are going to bonded together with for the rest of our lives.”
