ORLANDO – After a weekend featuring two top‑10 showdowns in Texas, the UCF men’s tennis team remains firmly planted among the nation’s best, coming in at No. 15 in the latest ITA rankings.
The Knights have now spent an impressive 11 consecutive weeks inside the top 15, never once slipping from the elite group.
Despite dropping both road matches, UCF still boasts a strong 17-4 overall record on the season. The Knights have been unbeatable at home, carrying a perfect 13-0 mark at the USTA National Campus. They’ll have the opportunity to complete an undefeated home slate later this week when they host Oklahoma State.
UCF continues to sit in the upper tier of the Big 12 standings, trailing only No. 5 TCU, No. 8 Arizona and No. 9 Baylor. The Knights lead the remaining conference programs, with Arizona State (29), Oklahoma State (38), Texas Tech (66), and BYU (67) rounding out the league’s ranked teams.
In singles, senior Yassine Dlimi and junior Wissam Abderrahman remain inside the ITA top 125. Both saw slight movement this week, with Dlimi landing at No. 83 and Abderrahman at No. 106.
