Blue Devils Head to Tulsa for ITA All-American

DURHAM, N.C. – With a week off following the fall's season-opening Duke James Bonk Invite, the Blue Devils' men's tennis team is back in action at the Saint Francis ITA Men's All-American Championships. The event will take place in Tulsa, Okla., at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center for the 11th straight year.

Pre-qualifying matches begin on Saturday, October 3, with qualifying matches starting on October 5 and main draw contests getting underway on October 8. The singles and doubles finals are scheduled for Oct. 12.

Duke will send freshmen Vincent Lin and Adrian Chamdani, as well as junior TJ Pura to the prequalifying rounds. Lin went 3-1 at the Bonk Invite and won the black draw consolation finals while Chamdani posted a 2-2 mark to place fifth in the white draw. This will be Pura's first action of the fall season.

The Blue Devils' lone participant in the main draw is sophomore Nicolas Alvarez. Alvarez, the second-highest ranked player in the draw at No. 7, could be joined by other Duke players if they advance out of the pre-qualifying and qualifying rounds.

Following action at the ITA All-American, Duke will host the ITA Regional Qualifier in Cary, N.C., at the Cary Tennis Park from October 16-20.
