No. 7 Georgia (13-3, 5-0) poses quite a problem for the LSU men’s tennis team.The Bulldogs have won eight of their last nine matches and sit atop the Southeastern Conference with a perfect 5-0 record.But none of the aforementioned statistics will faze LSU men’s coach Jeff Brown. On Sunday, LSU (5-9, 2-3) hosts Georgia at 11 a.m. at W.T. “Dub” Robinson Stadium.”At this point, we won’t be intimidated by anyone with what we’ve been up against with Virginia on the road and Tennessee on the road,” Brown said. “These guys are prepared for any match that is there for us.”No. 1 Virginia and No. 2 Tennessee both blanked the Tigers, 7-0, earlier this year.The match against Georgia pits LSU against its third top-10 opponent and fourth-straight top-25 opponent in the last 10 days.”If you go through and look at our schedule, it’s been pretty difficult,” Brown said. “We’ve done a good job of raising our level.”LSU is coming off a missed opportunity this past Tuesday when the Tigers dropped a narrow 4-2 decision to No. 3 Ohio State.Brown decided to revamp the doubles lineup after voicing displeasure in his team’s performance.The usual doubles duo of sophomore Neal Skupski and freshman Roger Anderson was scrapped in favor of Skupski and junior Sebastian Carlsson.Brown put sophomore Mark Bowtell in the No. 2 spot along with Anderson, while freshman Stefan Szacinski moved down a spot into No. 3 with sophomore David Roberts.Though the Tigers were swept in doubles against Ohio State, Brown remains confident doubles will improve in the near future.”We’ve got enough guys to get one more good team together,” he said.Meanwhile, the LSU women’s tennis team begins its own stretch against top-ranked opponents.The Lady Tigers (6-10, 1-3) host No. 15 Tennessee (9-5, 3-1) at 3 p.m. before traveling to Athens, Ga., on Sunday to take on No. 15 Georgia (8-4, 4-0) at 12 p.m.LSU’s season is reminiscent of a seesaw.The Lady Tigers lost eight straight matches earlier in the season and then won four of five matches, before being crushed by Tulsa last Tuesday, 6-1.”Some matches we’ve come out with great intensity and determination, and other matches we haven’t,” said LSU women’s coach Tony Minnis.Like the men, the women’s team has faced top-tier competition, but Minnis isn’t using it as an excuse.”You don’t do yourself any favors by playing a weak schedule, so impact wins can shape a lot,” he said. “The losses we have had, for the most part, have been against good teams.”——Contact Sean Isabella [email protected]
