COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The No. 20 Wake Forest men's tennis team will face road contests against a pair of top 30 teams this week, beginning with No. 19 Texas A&M on Tuesday and No. 29 Texas Christian on Friday.

In their last outing, the Demon Deacons (9-3) opened conference season with a 4-3 win over NC State in Winston-Salem. In only his third singles match of the season, junior Carlos Salmon clinched the Wake Forest win over the Pack at No. 6 with a nail biting 6-7, 6-4, 7-5 victory.

The Aggies are 6-4 for 2008 and will enter Monday's contest with Deacs on a two-match win streak. No. 31 Connor Pollock leads Texas A&M at No. 1 with a 7-3 record. Pollock also leads the team with freshman Austin Krajicek at No. 1 doubles; the duo holds a five-match win streak and national rank of 40th.

The Horned Frogs (10-2) will face two road contests this week before hosting the Demon Deacons on Friday in Fort Worth. TCU opened the season on an undefeated 9-0 run before the streak was snapped by Oklahoma State on February 24. Senior Cosmin Cotet leads the Frog singles lineup with a 9-2 record and No. 21 national rank.

When the Deacons return from the spring break outing, the team will continue conference play with North Carolina on March 18 at 2:30 p.m. in Chapel Hill.
