Baylor men’s tennis is set to host and compete in the ITA Texas Regional Championships, running Oct. 19-22 at the Hurd Tennis Center in Waco.
With six Bears in the singles and doubles draws, play opens Friday morning with the championship matches wrapping up the tournament on Monday.
The ITA Regional Championships feature some of the top men's and women's players across the country. Over 8,000 student-athletes from NCAA Division I, II, III, NAIA, Junior and Community Colleges compete across 85 ITA Regional Championships around the country.
In Division I, regional doubles champions and regional singles champions and finalists qualify for the season-ending Oracle ITA National Fall Championships in Surprise, AZ.
In singles, No. 33 Johannes Schretter, No. 79 Matias Soto, No. 85 Sven Lah, No. 115 Will Little, Jimmy Bendeck and Constantin Frantzen open action Friday morning.
Little leads the Bears with a 5-1 singles record while Lah holds a 5-3 record. Bendeck and Soto look to win their second straight match in fall action.
In doubles, No. 5 Schretter and Little along with Frantzen and Soto will compete together for the first time this season. The 2018 ITA All-American championship duo of Bendeck and Lah will pair together again and look to build off their perfect 8-0 record this season.
The Bears look to add more qualifying players to next month’s Oracle ITA National Fall Championships with Bendeck and Lah already securing a spot.
