Lake Nona, Fla. – Texas Men's Tennis juniors Cleeve Harper and Eliot Spizzirri won two matches to advance the NCAA Doubles Championship Semifinals on Thursday at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona, Fla.

The wins put Harper in his second-straight semifinal after winning the 2022 National Championship with partner Richard Ciamarra. It is the first time Spizzirri has reached the semifinals.

It also marks the eighth time in UT history a men's doubles pair has appeared in the semifinals. Along with the most recent two, that group includes Lloyd Glasspool and Søren Hess-Olesen in 2015, who went on to win the title, Chris Camillone and David Holiner in 2013, Chad Clark and Trey Phillips in 1995, Mitch Michulka and Michael Penman in 1990, Charles Beckman and Royce Deppe in 1985, and Gary Plock and Kevin Curren 1978.
