Fort Worth \u2013 Texas Men’s Tennis freshman No. 88 Tomasz Berkieta<\/a> finished as a singles finalist at the ITA Texas Regional Championships in Fort Worth on Monday. In doing so, Berkieta qualified for the NCAA Singles Championships that will be played in November 17-22 in Athens, Ga.<\/p>\n

Berkieta, who was a 9 seed, defeated Niksa Arsic of Texas Tech, 6-2, 6-4. With the finalists qualifying for the NCAA singles tournament, the regional final will not be played, however, 9 seed Ilia Snitari of Texas A&M had reached on the other side of the bracket.<\/p>\n

Despite that, it marks the fourth-straight year the Longhorns have had a singles finalist in the tournament. Junior Sebastian Eriksson<\/a> was a finalist in 2026 in another year in which the final was not played, but prior to that, Timo Legout<\/a> won the title over teammate Jonah Braswell<\/a> in 2025, and Micah Braswell<\/a> took the crown the year before that in 2024.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns will continue fall play in a series of pro tournaments with the next potential collegiate events being the ITA Central Sectional Championships and the ITA Conference Masters, both of which take place Nov. 5-8.<\/p>\n
