Bianchi and Vassel Earn At-Large Bid to NCAA Men's Doubles Championships
April 30, 2024 | Men's Tennis
INDIANAPOLIS — The doubles team of Juan Jose Bianchi and Jake Vassel received an at-large bid to the 2024 NCAA Division I Men's Doubles Championships, The NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Subcommittee announced on Tuesday evening. The Eagles pair joins 31 other doubles teams competing in the 2024 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championships.
The singles and doubles competition will be conducted May 20-25 at the Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater, Oklahoma, after the conclusion of the team championship, which runs from May 16-19. Oklahoma State University serves as the host.
All matches will be conducted in best-of-three sets. For doubles competition, a 10-point match tiebreaker will be played in the place of a third set.
Automatic Division I doubles championship qualification was awarded to any conference with one or more eligible doubles teams ranked in the ITA Top 60 for eligible/entered doubles teams. For conferences with more than one doubles team within the ITA Top 60 eligible/entered doubles teams, the subcommittee applied the NCAA selection criteria to determine which doubles team is the automatic qualifier from those conferences. All doubles teams must have started at least 10 doubles matches, with a minimum of four matches in the spring, to be selected as an automatic qualifier or an at-large selection.
