The Rebels will be led by senior All-Americans Jonas Berg and Bram ten Berge, who are ranked No. 1 in the nation in doubles. Freshman Otto Sauer, who was here in the fall, will also be in action.

The SEC boasts four teams ranked in the ITA top 10 national rankings, including two-time defending national champion Georgia at No. 3.
“The SEC Indoor is a great way to start the season,” head coach Billy Chadwick said. “It’s an individual championship, so it provides an excellent opportunity to get a look at the team.

The true strength of the conference is in the depth from top to bottom.”
Ole Miss has enjoyed plenty of success at the SEC Indoor, including last year when the Rebels won both singles and doubles titles.
