The Miami Hurricanes team tennis season is just around the corner. The men's season starts on January 18 when they host Florida Atlantic and the women's season starts with the Miami Spring Invite at home on January 21. This year's teams are among the most internationally diverse teams in the country. The men have ten members this year with players from Brazil, Guatemala, Poland, Sweden, and six from the United States. The freshmen were ranked No. 8 in the recruiting class rankings last year. The women's team has nine members with two from Germany and one each from Brazil, Canada, China, Ireland, Latvia, Puerto Rico, Spain and Venezuela. That's right. There is not a single American on the women's team.
The teams are also very young. The men's team will have two seniors, two sophomores and six freshmen this season. The women will have two seniors on the team, followed by two juniors and five freshmen.
