WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. \u2013 The 2025 NCAA Champion Wake Forest men’s tennis team will be celebrated on Monday night (Aug. 18) at the Wake Forest Tennis Center during the Winston-Salem Open. The Demon Deacons will be honored in a special on-court ceremony and receive their national championship rings prior to Stefan Dostanic’s<\/a> primetime singles match scheduled for 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

All Wake Forest students, faculty and staff will receive a special 50% off discount for Monday’s session and can be purchased here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to Dostanic earning a singles wild card, rising senior DK Suresh Ekambaram<\/a> and rising junior Luca Pow<\/a> will be returning to the main doubles draw after making a run to the semifinals a year ago. Their first-round match is slated for Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Suresh will be looking to earn a spot in the main singles draw as he takes on Alejandro Tabilo in the final qualifying round today (Aug. 17) at 1 p.m.<\/p>\n

The recognition comes after one of the most dominant seasons in collegiate tennis history, as Wake Forest posted a program- and ACC-record 40-1 overall record, claimed both the ITA National Indoor and NCAA team championships, and earned its second NCAA title in program history (2018, 2025).<\/p>\n

Led by 2025 ITA National Coach of the Year Tony Bresky<\/a>, the Demon Deacons became just the fourth program ever to win both the ITA and NCAA championships in the same season more than once.<\/p>\n

The 2025 championship was clinched with a 4-2 victory over No. 2-seeded TCU in Waco, Texas. Tournament MVP Dostanic delivered two top-10 singles wins in three days, including a straight-set victory over No. 8 Jack Pinnington in the final. Rising senior DK Suresh Ekambaram<\/a> secured the championship point with a win over No. 10 Pedro Vives.<\/p>\n

Wake Forest finished the season with an unprecedented 79-21 doubles record, winning 38 of 41 opening points, and 138-42 in singles play. Five Demon Deacons earned All-ACC honors, and three singles players finished the season ranked in the ITA poll.<\/p>\n
