Playing in the singles portion of the tournament will be No. 70 Lletyon Cronje, No. 88 Kento Yamada, Trey Hilderbrand and Bogdan Pavel. All four Knights will compete in the qualifying draw in an attempt to play in the main draw.
In doubles play, the No. 3 duo of Hilderbrand and Pavel will begin their run in the tournament in the main draw, which is the top 32 pairings. Last season, the duo earned All-American honors and recorded a 10-2 dual match record with six wins over ranked opponents in eight tries and took a trip to the NCAA Doubles Sweet 16.
