ORLANDO, Fla. – The Oracle/ITA preseason singles and double rankings has Gabriel Decamps and Juan Pablo Grassi Mazzuchi as two of the country's elite talents. The pair checks in at No. 12 in the doubles rankings and are individually inside the top 60 in singles.
Decamps and Grassi Mazzuchi had an incredible fall and spring during the 2019-20 campaign, so it's no surprise to find them as one of the top dozen tandems. As a duo, the two notched a 10-2 record during the dual match season, collecting five victories at the top spot in the lineup. The pair was named as the American Athletic Conference Players of the Week in early March.
Decamps continues to prove that he belongs with the best of the best in singles, checking in at No. 16 in the rankings. The All-American had a stellar 2020, collecting a 9-4 mark and picking up three victories over ranked opponents. Decamps concluded last season ranked at No. 19.
Grassi Mazzuchi climbs to No. 52 in the singles rankings to start 2021, elevating from No. 76 where he finished in 2020. He climbed as high as No. 29 early on and looks to return to that mark after wrapping up last season with some outstanding performances. Grassi Mazzuchi tallied four wins over ranked opposition and compiled an impressive 9-4 record at the No. 2 singles position. He received three nods as the AAC's Player of the Week during the shortened 2020 dual match season.
The Oracle/ITA team rankings are set to release tomorrow. UCF finished the season at No. 22 in the final release of the team rankings, a program best.
