4/11/2026 1:05:00 PM | Men's Tennis
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - A major battle is set for tomorrow at 12:00 pm PT in San Diego as the No. 29 Pepperdine Waves are ready to take on the No. 16 Toreros in WCC play. Â
Â
San Diego is red-hot, winning their last nine matches. Each squad is 5-0 to start WCC action this spring, and San Diego hasn't lost a point since their March 21 match against No. 28 Columbia.
Â
The Waves own the overall series record, boasting a 35-19 record against USD. Despite the success, it's been tough sledding for Pepperdine in recent seasons, as the Toreros have taken 16 of the last 19 meetings.
Â
Pepperdine has just three regular season matches left, including at No. 16 San Diego before visiting No. 51 LMU on April 18 and ending the regular season at UC Santa Barbara on April 19.

While the Waves have won five in a row, they don't have a representative in the ITA singles or doubles rankings. San Diego boasts a pair of ranked singles players, No. 21 Oliver Tarvet and No. 90 Manvydas Balciunas. The Toreros also have a ranked doubles team, with the duo of Adrien Berrut and Lambert Ruland slotting in at No. 27.Thank you for everything, Maxi! 🫶#MakeWaves | @PepperdineWaves pic.twitter.com/SVjxLEKLoI
