ORLANDO – Thanks to a successful 2026 fall campaign, Wissam Abderrahman and Mohammad Alkotop have punched their ticket to the NCAA Men’s Doubles Championships. The Individual Championships are set to take place at Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Ga.
The Knights duo clinched their spot after winning the ITA Southeast Regional doubles crown in mid-October. They downed pairings from Florida, Georgia, Florida State, Florida Gulf Coast and FAU in their march to claiming the doubles title.
Alkotop transferred this offseason from Florida State after garnering 15 doubles wins a year ago in Tallahassee, while Abderrahman joined the Knights in the summer of 2025, tallying an appearance in the ITA National Doubles Rankings with former partner Mehdi Benchakroun.
This will be the first appearance in the NCAA Individual Championships since 2023, when Bogdan Pavel and Lleyton Cronje advanced to the round of 16 at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona, Fla.
The draw for the doubles championship will be announced on NCAA.org by 6 p.m. ET, Saturday, Nov. 14, with the Round of 32 beginning Wednesday, Nov. 18 and the tournament continuing until the Championship Day on Sunday, Nov. 22.
