Steady junior Milan Mihailovic (Nis, Serbia) totaled a 28-10 singles mark last season and figures to move higher in the singles lineup after playing mostly at the No. 4 spot in 2006.

Junior Bernhard Deussner (Vienna, Austria) has played sparingly during his first two seasons in Austin but likely will see more time on the courts in 2007. Senior Hubert Chodkiewicz (Corpus Christi, Texas) will red-shirt during the 2007 season.

Freshman Dimitar Kutrovsky (Sofia, Bulgaria) will make his way toward the top of the singles lineup after turning in a solid fall season, which included his first collegiate singles title at the Texas Invitational.
