Ohio State's Reign of Terror Continues.

The Buckeye men's tennis team kept up its dominance on Sunday, sweeping yet another top-10 opponent with its 7-0 stomping of No. 8 Wake Forest.

With Sunday's sweep, Ohio State has now swept four top-10 teams in four consecutive matches. The Buckeyes began the top-10 sweep streak by upsetting No. 1 Tennessee last Friday by a score of 4-0 before doing the same to No. 6 Virginia last Sunday.

Ohio State kept the streak alive this weekend, sweeping No. 10 Kentucky 4-0 on Friday. The Buckeyes were even more dominant on Sunday, beating No. 8 Wake Forest 7-0 as the teams finished the remaining matches even after Ohio State clinched the team victory.

The Buckeyes have not so much as lost a set since beating Xavier 6-1 on Jan. 16 – a match that would have ended in a sweep had the teams stopped play after Ohio State clinched the team victory at 4-0.

Ohio State currently has the two top-ranked doubles teams in the nation with Robert Cash and Matej Vocel ranked No. 1 and Justin Boulais and James Trotter ranked No. 2. Both are undefeated on the season.

The Buckeyes also have four ranked singles players with James Trotter ranked No. 36, Cannon Kingsley ranked No. 16, JJ Tracy ranked No. 11, and Matej Vocel ranked No. 6.

Ohio State will now travel to Seattle next weekend for the ITA Indoor National Championships.
