With the fall season quickly approaching, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) has released today the Division I Men’s National Preseason Rankings sponsored by Tennis-Point.
Comprised of the top 125 singles rankings, top 60 doubles rankings, and top ten newcomer rankings, today’s preseason rankings mark the start of the 2023-24 college tennis season with events such as the ITA Regional Championships, ITA All-American Championships, and ITA Fall National Championships right around the corner.
In the preseason men’s singles rankings, it is Eliot Spizzirri (Texas), the 2023 ITA National Player of the Year, who will claim the top spot in the poll. Spizzirri was one of the most consistent players in all of college tennis during the 2022-23 season and has recently reached the third-round of qualifying at the US Open and competed in the Men’s Doubles Main Draw with Tyler Zink (Oklahoma State).
Across the doubles rankings, Spizzirri and Cleeve Harper (Texas) will come in as the top-ranked doubles team in the preseason rankings. The duo finished as National Runners-Up in the 2023 NCAA Doubles Championship and will look to build on their impressive 2022-23 campaign beginning this fall.
Kyle Kang (Stanford) is the top-ranked freshman/newcomer in today’s preseason poll. Kang is a former No. 1 ranked recruit according to TennisRecruiting.net and was a quarterfinalist at the 2022 US Open Junior Championships.
