NCAA Men's Tennis Championship


The NCAA Men's Tennis Championships are separate tournaments held to crown team, individual, and doubles champion in American college tennis. The first intercollegiate championship was held in 1883, 23 years before the founding of the NCAA, with Harvard's Joseph Clark taking the singles title. The same year Clark partnered to Howard Taylor to win the doubles title.
Since 1963, the NCAA organizes separate tournaments for Division I and II. A tournament for Division III was added in 1973. However, after 1995, the NCAA no longer holds a Division II tournament.
From 1946–1976, players' individual performances were awarded points which were tallied to determine the NCAA "team" champion. In 1977, the NCAA began a dual-match single-elimination team tournament with 16 schools to determine the team championship. Subsequently expanded to include byes for 12 teams in the first round, the team tournament adopted its current 64-team single-elimination format in 1999.
For the 2016 season, in the Men's singles Championship, No. 6 Mackenzie McDonald def. No. 1 Mikael Torpegaard, 6-3, 6-3. In the Men's doubles Championship, Mackenzie McDonald-Martin Redlicki def. Arthur Rinderkech-Jackson Withrow, 6-4, 6-1.
