FORT WORTH, TEXAS (February 20, 2008) The TCU men’s tennis team jumped 16 spots to No. 47 in the latest FILA/ITA ranking released on Wednesday. TCU senior Cosmin Cotet also remained in the singles rankings, while two Horned Frog doubles teams received recognition.
The Frogs are currently 8-0 overall this season, marking the first time TCU has
jumped out to that mark since the 2004 season, and only the second time in the last 22 years. In the last two matches, the Frogs have defeated No. 42 Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and No. 31 Texas Tech.
Cotet, a native of Iasi, Romania, slid to No. 83 nationally in singles play after dropping his first match of the season to No. 50 Bojan Szumanski of Texas Tech on Sunday. The match marked the first time this season that Cotet has dropped a set.
The doubles team of Cotet and Kriegler Brink gained 30 spots to No. 14 nationally. The duo, formerly ranked No. 44, is currently 5-1 on the season with the only loss coming to Texas Tech’s 10th-ranked duo of Szumanski and Rojmar. The TCU duo is now 23-5 when playing together in their career.
The Horned Frog doubles team of Emanu Brighiu and Adrian Simon entered the rankings at No. 51 after upsetting the 11th-ranked Texas Tech duo of Breler and Markovic on Sunday. The doubles team is 2-0 on the season.
The Frogs will return to action on Saturday at 2 p.m. when they play host to No. 66 Minnesota, followed by a Sunday home contest against No. 15 Oklahoma State at 2 p.m.
