Head-to-Head History
Alabama leads the series 3-2, with their last win coming in 2016 in a tight 4-3 battle during the ITA Kickoff Weekend. The two teams have faced each other sporadically since 1978, with Alabama winning the last three matchups. The last time Texas won was back in 2012.
Ranking Updates
Texas has been shifting spots in the ITA rankings this season. They started at No. 7 but have bounced between No. 8 and No. 15 throughout the season. Right now, they’re sitting at No. 14. Individually, five Texas players are in the ITA top 100 for singles, and two doubles pairs are also nationally ranked.
With Alabama struggling in the SEC and Texas looking to climb back up the rankings, this match could be a key turning point for the Longhorns.
