UTA men’s tennis is set to compete in the 2025 Intercollegiate Tennis Association Men’s Texas Regional Championships in College Station, Texas, from Friday to Tuesday.

The tournament, which will be hosted by Texas A&M University at George P. Mitchell Tennis Center, will feature 14 teams from across the state, including the Western Athletic Conference’s Abilene Christian University.

Joining the two WAC teams in College Station will be four teams from the Southland Conference, three teams from the Big 12 Conference, two teams each from the American Conference and Southeastern Conference and a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Mavericks are coming off a subpar display at Ron Wesbrooks Invitational, where only two players were able to secure wins in singles play.

In the upcoming championships, each of the four players are scheduled to compete in singles and doubles play. Junior Saúl Berdullas Calviño will be paired with freshman Jesse Gothelf, while junior Yazid Lahjomri will team up with sophomore Finbar McGarvey.

The singles tournament will begin with qualifying games Friday. Winners of each consolidation bracket play a final game against each other.

McGarvey received a bye and will play the winner of a game between the UT San Antonio and UT Rio Grande Valley. Berdullas Calviño got the same treatment and will play the winner of a match between the University of the Incarnate Word and Rice University.

Gothelf will take on Texas Tech University for the right to face off against Lamar University.

The first games will take place at 9 a.m., with winners facing off against players with a bye at noon. The losers of those two games play each other at 1:30 p.m., and the consolidation bracket winners play a final game at 4 p.m.
