In part three of our 11-part "Meet the Cats" mini-series, ArizonaWildcats.com sits down with junior Naoki Takeda.

The University of Arizona Men's Tennis team has broken into the national rankings this week, as it's been placed a No. 75 in the country, according to the latest ITA poll released on Tuesday.

Junior Naoki Takeda pulled off one of the largest upsets of the college tennis season thus far, as he took down No. 5 Dominik Koepfer, 6-2, 6-0, but it wasn't quite enough, as the Wildcats fell to No. 53 Tulane 4-2, Tuesday out at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center.

The Wildcats will conclude their season-long 12-match homestand and take on their third consecutive ranked opponent, as they host No. 53 Tulane, Tuesday out at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center.

Junior Naoki Takeda was able to win his ninth straight singles match and secure his first win since being ranked No. 58 in the nation earlier this week, but it wasn't enough, as Arizona dropped a 5-2 decision to No. 70 Nevada, Saturday out at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center, snapping what was a season-long four-match win streak.

The Wildcats look to continue their impressive four-match win-streak this week, as they get ready to face two ranked opponents, starting with Nevada, Saturday at noon MST, followed by Tulane, Tuesday at 11:00 am MST, in what will be the final two matches of their season-long 12-match homestand out at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center.
