Spring Slate Starts

- The spring tennis slate begins on Thursday, Jan. 12 against Saint Mary's - one day later than previously scheduled after rain caused the postponement of the match by nearly 24 hours. First serve is set for 12:30 p.m.
- Nishesh Basavareddy is 17-1 on the season after winning the ITA Fall National Championship, the ITA Northwest Super Regional and the consolation bracket at the ITA All-American Championships.

- Max Basing also had a strong fall, and begins the spring season as the nation's No. 7 singles player. Basing is 5-2 on the season, after an 18-2 dual record as a freshman, with all five victories coming over ranked opponents. The sophomore beat four straight ranked opponents at the ITA All-American Championships to advance to the tournament's semifinal round.
- Arthur Fery returns for his junior campaign after taking the fall off from collegiate tennis to play in professional tournaments. An All-American last season, Fery was ranked as high as No. 1 in the country in singles and No. 6 in doubles, going 24-8 in singles and 26-10 in doubles overall. Fery is currently a top-500 singles player in the world, and picked up M25 professional wins this fall in singles in Sheffield, Nottingham and Malibu and in doubles in Sunderland.
