Texas A&M tennis enters 2026-27 loaded on both sides, led by women’s No. 1 Lucciana Perez and two men’s singles players ranked inside the top 15.
Texas A&M tennis is heading into the 2026-27 season with something every program wants: star power, depth and national expectations on both the men’s and women’s sides.
The biggest name is Lucciana Perez, who opens the year as the No. 1 women’s singles player in the country after finishing last season with a perfect 28-0 singles record.
Perez didn’t just dominate. She swept up some of college tennis’ biggest honors, earning ITA National Player of the Year, SEC Player of the Year, All-America recognition and the Honda Award after a remarkable junior season.
And she’s far from the only Aggie carrying a national ranking.
The Texas A&M women placed five players in the preseason ITA singles rankings. Kristina Paskauskas enters at No. 49, Lexington Reed at No. 60, Olivia Lincer at No. 72 and freshman Ruby Cooling at No. 122.
Reed gives A&M another proven SEC performer after going 20-8 in singles last season, including a 10-4 conference record. Paskauskas brings experience from Alabama, where she posted a 16-10 record at No. 1 singles.
Then there’s the incoming talent.
Cooling arrives from England after competing at Wimbledon and the US Open as a junior, while Arina Bulatova brings international experience and a career-best WTA singles ranking of No. 457.
The men’s roster looks just as dangerous.
Texas A&M placed four players in the preseason singles rankings, led by No. 8 Theo Papamalamis and No. 15 Amirkhamza Nasridinov.
That makes the Aggies one of only three programs in the country with two players inside the top 15.
Bor Artnak checks in at No. 46, while Alex Frusina is ranked No. 57.
The Aggies also earned three doubles rankings, with Frusina and Markus Molder leading the way at No. 31. Papamalamis and Lathan Skrobarcek are No. 53, while Nasridinov and Kholo Montsi sit at No. 66.
On the women’s side, Perez and Lincer enter doubles play ranked No. 11 nationally.
That’s a lot of firepower packed into one program.
Texas A&M won’t have to manufacture preseason hype in 2026-27. The ITA rankings already did that for them.
Now the Aggies get the harder part: proving all that talent can translate into a championship run.
