TULSA, Okla. – The University of Tulsa will once again welcome the ITA Men's All-American Championships to the Michael D. Case Tennis Center, marking the 21st consecutive year the prestigious event has been held in Tulsa. Competition is scheduled for Sept. 19–27, with pre-qualifying and qualifying rounds also taking place at the Case Tennis Center in LaFortune Park.
Admission is free for fans and tennis enthusiasts, and all matches at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center will be available to stream on Track Tennis.
Organized by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), the All-American Championships are among the first major events of the collegiate fall tennis calendar. The tournament brings together many of the nation's top players, with competitors from nearly 100 schools slated to participate.
Closing the fall individual season, the NCAA Individual Championships will be held in late November. Players will earn consideration for the NCAA singles and doubles fields based on their performances at four ITA events throughout the fall: the All-American Championships, Regional Championships, Sectional Championships and Conference Masters.
The All-American Championships provide a direct path to the NCAA Individual Championships, with 10 singles players and four doubles teams earning automatic qualification. The eight singles quarterfinalists and two feed-in consolation finalists will advance in singles, while the four doubles semifinalists will secure NCAA berths.
In addition to NCAA qualification, the singles and doubles champions at the All-American Championships receive All-America honors for the 2026-27 season.
Tulsa has one previous ITA All-American Singles Champion in Arnau Brugues, who captured the title in 2006, the second year Tulsa hosted the event.
The Golden Hurricane, led by 36th-year head coach Vince Westbrook, will be represented by all members of the current roster except Alex Nunez, who will compete for his country in the Davis Cup. Returners Nikita Volonski, Calum Jestin, Victor Tosetto and Ruben Fernandez will take the court alongside newcomers Brett Gloria, Otso Martikainen, Dani Szabo and Alvaro Frutos.
As the host institution, Tulsa is guaranteed two spots in both the qualifying draw and main draw.
