Welcome to the ITA Student-Athlete Podcast with your host Abi Wild, a former women’s tennis player at Hawaii Pacific University. This podcast was created by college tennis players for college tennis players to share the stories and experiences of our unique sport with the world.
In today’s episode, Abi sits down with recently graduated Texas men’s tennis player Eliot Spizzirri. As the two-time ITA National Player of the Year, Spizzirri has been one of the top college tennis players at the Division I level throughout his career. He concluded the season with a 29-6 overall record, including 21-4 in dual matches, playing on the top line in all of those. Fourteen of his 29 wins came against top-50 opponents. In the fall of 2023, Spizzirri won the singles title at the ITA All-American Championships.
While you listen, Abi and Eliot will discuss many different aspects of being a college tennis player, including, the transition from college tennis to the pro tour, why he decided to go to college after a successful junior career, and how Texas has developed him into the player and person he is today.
