TALLAHASSEE - The defending ACC champion Florida State men's tennis team announced three home tournaments and eight total tournaments as part of its fall 2024 schedule released Monday.
UTR will hold its $25K Pro Tennis Tournament at the FSU Indoor Tennis Courts from September 15-21 before the ITA All-American Championships take place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, from September 21-29.
The fall slate will move towards central Florida in October as the ITA Southeast Regional Championship will take place in Orlando from October 10-14 before the annual Bedford Cup in Gainesville from October 25-27.
Florida State will host the ITA South Sectional Championship at the Speicher Tennis Center from November 7-10. This marks the first ITA event FSU has hosted since the 2022 ITA Southeast Regional Championship. During that same weekend, FSU will also send part of its team to Miramar Beach, Florida, to compete in the Battle of the Beach competition from November 8-10.
The Indoor Tennis Courts will also host the annual ITF Tallahassee Futures competition from November 17-23. The ITA events will allow players to qualify for the NCAA Individual Championships in Waco, Texas, from November 19-24. This is the first year the NCAA Individual Championships have moved from the spring season to the fall season.
FSU returns six players from last season's ACC championship, including four seniors. Incoming transfers include Coconut Creek, Florida, native Corey Craig and German sophomore Erik Schiessl. The freshman class includes European players Jan Sebesta and Elias Sumann.
Florida State was represented in numerous spots in the ITA Fall Preseason Rankings. Jamie Connel and Youcef Rihane each earned a top-100 singles ranking at No. 82 and No. 88, respectively. FSU also earned two top-50 doubles rankings with Alex Bulte and Rihane at No. 41 while Schiessl and Joshua Dous-Karpenschif checked in at No. 47. Sebesta and Connel begin their fall season ranked No. 78 as a pairing. Sebesta also was ranked the No. 10 newcomer entering collegiate play this season.
