STATESBORO, Ga. – As the fall season comes to a close for the men's tennis team, one Eagle will be traveling home to compete in the Mexico Davis Cup Team tryouts next week. Santiago Suarez was selected to compete in the try out selection processes for the Cup Team.

The Mexico Davis Cup Team represents Mexico in the Davis Cup Tennis competition governed by the Federacion Mexicana de Tenis. The Davis Cup is the premier international team event in men's tennis. It is held annually between teams from competing countries in a knock-out format. The best 16 national teams are selected to the World Group and compete in one of three zones: Americas, Asia/Oceania, and Europe/Africa.
 
The completion is spread over four weekends throughout the year. Each elimination round between competing nations is held in one of the countries, and is played as a best of five matches, 4 being singles and 1 doubles match.
 
"It's always a pleasure to represent your country in any way you can," said freshman Santiago Suarez. "Being able to participate in such a prestigious tournament is a wonderful opportunity and I am excited to see where this takes me."
