No. 5 Kentucky men’s tennis was selected as a host site for the first and second rounds of the 2024 NCAA Tournament from May 3-4.

Kentucky’s first matchup will be on Friday at 4 p.m. ET against DePaul, with the winner advancing to the round of 32 and playing the winner of Toledo and Illinois.

The Wildcats are hot off their SEC regular season and tournament titles on a 17-match winning streak, making them the heavy favorite in their immediate bracket.

Led by No. 4 doubles pair Josh Lapadat and JJ Mercer, Kentucky has dropped the doubles point in just one of its last ten matches.
