ORLANDO, Fla. – As the regular season draws to a close, the UCF men's tennis team finds themselves as the No. 11 team in the nation in this week's release of the Oracle/ITA team rankings.
Due to scheduling situations caused by COVID-19, the Oracle/ITA releases a computerized ranking as well as a poll each week. The Black and Gold sit at No. 11 in each this week. The Tennis Channel/USTA College Tennis Top 25 has UCF at No. 12.
The Knights ended their regular season on an 11-match winning streak and look to keep their momentum rolling into the conference tournament. 10 of the 11 victories during the streak have been over ranked opponents, the highest being the team's win over then-No. 14 Wake Forest that propelled UCF into the top 10 for the first time in program history.
Gabriel Decamps and Juan Pablo Grassi Mazzuchi are ranked in singles for UCF. Decamps checks in at No. 7 this week and is 16-4 on the campaign, going 8-3 against ranked opposition. Grassi Mazzuchi climbs once again, jumping to No. 90. He sits at 13-5 this season and is 8-4 at the No. 3 position in singles.
Trey Hilderbrand is a part of two ranked doubles tandems for the Knights. He and Bogdan Pavel make up the country's No. 13 pair. The two have gone 8-1 together at the top spot in doubles and have collected six wins against nationally ranked opponents in seven tries. Hilderbrand and Decamps are still ranked as a duo, sitting at No. 32, despite not playing together since March 26. The two went 8-4 together at the top spot.

The Knights will face either Memphis or Wichita State in the semifinals of the American Athletic Conference Championship on Friday at 3:30 p.m. at the UCF Collegiate Tennis Center at the USTA National Campus.
