Men’s Tennis Announces Its 2025-26 Schedule

Princeton University men's tennis Head Coach Billy Pate announced the Tigers' 2025-26 schedule as the program looks to make its third consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament and its fourth in the past five seasons.
The Tigers ended 2024 ranked No. 35 by Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) and made their way to the NCAA Championships with a 22-9 record and went 10-2 at home.

"We are incredibly excited to begin the season and we look forward to a very competitive slate of matches, both home and away," Pate said." Our players feel we have a great opportunity to challenge the top players and teams in the country while making additional strides on our success the last few years. It's encouraging to know we are returning all of our singles starters, along with the return of senior Sebastian Sec, who was sidelined with an injury last year."
