CLARKSVILLE – Austin Peay State University men's tennis team returns to Clarksville for the first time this season as the Governors host McKendree in a 1 p.m. match, Tuesday, at the Governors Tennis Courts. 

After having their three-match winning streak come to an end against West Florida, the Governors (3-2) look to gain momentum across their final three non-conference matches before opening Ohio Valley Conference play against Belmont, April 2.

Senior Anton Damberg leads Austin Peay with three singles victories from the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, while Damberg and sophomore Frederic Schlossmann highlight the Govs' doubles pairings with two wins on the No. 1 doubles court. 

After finishing fourth in the Grand Lakes Valley Conference's Eastern Division, McKendree currently leads the GLVC at 7-0 and boasts a 36-5 singles and 19-2 doubles record this season.

The Bearcats are led by Briss Kamdem, a graduate transfer from Tulsa, who leads the team with six singles wins across the team's top three lines. Kamden and junior Leonardo Frederico lead McKendree in doubles at 6-0 while playing exclusively on the Bearcats' top line.
