ORLANDO - Backed by a historic run in the 2025 Big 12 Championship at the Hurd Tennis Center in Waco, Texas, a pair of Knights landed on the All-Tournament team, announced Wednesday afternoon by the conference office.
Tallying the court three doubles honor, Mehdi Benchakroun and Santiago Giamichelle tallied a pair of crucial wins for the Knights.
A tiebreak triumph on court two in the quarterfinals against Utah preceded their standout victory of the weekend on Sunday. After the second-seeded Wildcats opened doubles play with a win on court two, the junior tandem responded with a 7-5 result on court three against Casper Christensen and Filip Gustafsson, 7-5.
During the regular season, the pairing secured a team-best 13 wins together to just five defeats. They've lost just one match on the anchor court all season, with this weekend serving as another testament to their chemistry within the Knights' doubles display.
