The 11th-ranked University of Kentucky men’s tennis team (8-3) plays host to the No. 7 Duke Blue Devils (3-2) on Sunday, March 8, at 1 p.m. in the Hilary J. Boone Indoor Tennis Center.

Sunday’s meeting is a rematch for the two teams, who tangled three weeks ago in the ITA National Indoor Championships in Louisville. In the earlier match, Duke blanked Kentucky 4-0. Kentucky is looking for revenge, however, and is riding high after 5-2 romp over the University of Louisville on Wednesday.

The match will feature a showdown between two of college tennis’s best, UK’s 6th-ranked Cedric Kauffmann and Duke’s 10th-ranked Doug Root. Admission to the match is free.
