FT. WALTON BEACH, Fla. – Both the Troy men's and women's tennis teams will travel to take on Eastern Kentucky on Tuesday at the Ft. Walton Beach Tennis Center. The women's match will begin at 8 a.m. with the men's match to follow.

For the Troy men, Tuesday's match is their last before taking part in the prestigious Blue Gray Tennis Classic, beginning on Friday in Montgomery, Ala., at the Lagoon Park Tennis Center and the O'Connor Tennis Center. The eight-team men's draw for the tournament features five ranked squad's that include Nebraska, Notre Dame, Texas Tech and more.
