WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Following a run to the NCAA team Round of 16 for the eighth time and a 33-win total which is the program's second-most wins in program history, the No. 9 Wake Forest men's tennis team saw a trio of Demon Deacons achieve All-America status from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
The ITA's "All-American" title is given to student-athletes that earn a top 16 seed in the NCAA Singles Championship, advance to the round of 16 at the NCAA Championship, or finish in the top 20 of the final ITA singles rankings. All-America status is also awarded to doubles teams that earn a top-eight seed in the NCAA championship, reach the NCAA championship quarterfinals, or finish in the top 10 of the final ITA doubles rankings.
Senior Eduardo Nava collected his first ITA Singles All-America status by reaching the NCAA Singles Quarterfinals, while Siddhant Banthia and Jakob Schnaitter earned All-America status in doubles by way of their run to the NCAA Doubles Quarterfinals.
