Fifth-ranked Horned Frogs blow by No. 12 Georgia 4-1 in Athens
ATHEHS, Ga. – The Horned Frogs polished off a three-match SEC road sweep with a 4-1 victory over No. 12 Georgia on Friday at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
No. 5 TCU won the doubles point and promptly claimed five opening singles sets to leave the Bulldogs backpedaling. Cosme Rolland De Ravel, Oliver Bonding and Roger Pascual locked up the win with straight set victories on courts one, four and six.
TCU (11-4) faced off with Georgia (10-5) for the second time in 2026. The Horned Frogs overwhelmed the Bulldogs by an identical score on Jan. 26 in Fort Worth in a match that was contested as a part of ITA Kickoff Weekend.
The Frogs picked up their seventh ranked win of the dual season and fifth over a team presently featuring in the top 15 of the ITA rankings with the victory.
The triumph over Georgia put an exclamation mark on weeklong road swing that saw TCU triumph over No. 2 Texas and No. 22 Florida prior to Friday's dual.
TCU notched its third consecutive victory over the Bulldogs and first-ever win in Athens, the sight of the 2026 and 2027 NCAA D1 Men's Tennis Championships.
With the win, TCU now holds a 6-1 record vs. the SEC this season.
The Horned Frogs have played their last seven matches away from home dating back to the ITA Indoor National Championships from Feb. 13-15. TCU now opens Big 12 play at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday at the outdoor Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center against Texas Tech.
Doubles Rundown
For the third straight match, it was TCU's strength at the top that proved decisive.
Georgia got on the board first, as Derrick Chen and Noah Johnston earned a 6-1 victory over Bonding and Filip Apltauer on court three. The match marked the first time Apltauer and Bonding partnered.
Fortunately for the Frogs, Rolland De Ravel and Duncan Chan had control of the 1-line from the get-go. The nation's eighth-ranked doubles pair, Rolland De Ravel and Chan built a 5-1 lead vs. down Georgia's top pair, No. 43 Arda Azkara and Santiago Giamichelle, before polishing off a 6-2 win. They broke on the first game of the match and secured the double break leading 5-1.
The doubles point firmly shifted in TCU's favor on court two, when Albert Pedrico and Cooper Woestendick split a 3-3 gridlock via a break point opposite Will Jansen and Gabrielle Vulpitta. The sophomore pair subsequently served out their match and secured a 1-0 Horned Frogs lead.
Chan and Rolland De Ravel improved to 17-0 overall, 12-0 in duals and 4-0 vs. ranked pairs with the result.
Pedrico and Woestendick have won three straight matches after playing together for the first time in TCU's 4-1 win over the Longhorns on March 7.
TCU has now won the doubles point in 14-of-15 matches this season.
