The North Carolina men's tennis team will host No. 1 Wake Forest Wednesday afternoon for a top-five showdown at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center.

The Tar Heels, ranked fifth nationally, are 13-3 overall and undefeated in Atlantic Coast Conference play at 4-0. Wake Forest is 14-1 overall and 3-1 in ACC play following its first loss of the season on Sunday at Florida State.

Match time is 3 p.m. There is no charge for admission and fans will be treated to free pizza and ice cream.

The Tar Heels have won their last three matches, all against ranked ACC teams. Most recently they beat No. 26 Notre Dame 6-1 on the road last Friday. Wednesday's match is the first at home since March 4, when UNC fell to Texas. The Tar Heels haven't lost since then.

UNC and Wake Forest last met in the 2017 NCAA Championship quarterfinals, when Carolina won 4-2 to advance to the NCAA semifinals for the first time in program history. Wake won last season's regular season matchup 4-3 in Winston-Salem.
