TCU men’s tennis heads to the Big 12 Tournament as the No. 2 seed, carrying a six-match winning streak and eyes on a 10th conference title.
FORT WORTH - TCU men’s tennis is back in the postseason, and the mission is clear: bring another Big 12 championship trophy to Fort Worth.
The Horned Frogs enter the 2026 Big 12 Tournament as the No. 2 seed after finishing the regular season 19-5 overall and 7-1 in conference play, putting themselves in a strong position for another deep run.
TCU men’s tennis opens Friday in the semifinal round at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona, Florida, thanks to a first-round bye.
The Horned Frogs will face either Baylor or Utah, and if the bracket holds, a likely title showdown with Arizona could be waiting Saturday.
That setup gives TCU both opportunity and urgency, especially with the Wildcats handing the Frogs their only Big 12 loss back in March.
Still, this team enters the tournament looking every bit like a contender. TCU has won six straight matches and is 11-1 since the start of March, piling up six top-25 victories during that stretch.
The Horned Frogs also own 10 wins over top-30 opponents this season, the most in the conference, and eight of those came away from home. That kind of résumé explains why TCU has stayed near the top of the ITA rankings all season.
There’s also plenty of star power in the lineup. Duncan Chan sits No. 11 in the ITA singles rankings, while Cosme Rolland De Ravel is ranked No. 38, Cooper Woestendick is No. 55 and Julian Alonso checks in at No. 105.
In doubles, Chan and Rolland De Ravel hold the No. 1 ranking nationally, giving TCU one of the most dangerous pairings in college tennis.
The Horned Frogs have already won Big 12 Tournament titles in 2016, 2017 and 2023, and they’ve reached the championship match eight times overall.
Under David Roditi, TCU has become one of the sport’s most consistent powers, stacking 11 straight year-end top-10 finishes and building a roster that mixes elite depth with young talent.
Now the next test begins. And for a program used to playing for titles, anything less than another serious championship push would feel incomplete.
