Seniors Orel Ovil and Zach Grueber discuss their tennis careers at Wichita State, their advice for young college athletes and why they are involved in the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Based on those experiences, we talk about the future of college athletics in this era of significant change.

Ovil talks about his future in coaching and how he used his life experiences in Israel to help the team. Grueber reveals his favorite Wichita pizza and both come prepared with several book recommendations.

Ovil is from Israel and has largely played No. 2 and 3 singles and No. 2 doubles this spring. Grueber is from Columbia, Mo. Both, in addition to their tennis, are ITA Scholar-Athletes and academic all-conference picks.
 
The Shocker tennis teams play their final home matches of the regular season on Saturday vs. Creighton. Both are scheduled for Coleman Tennis Complex (10 a.m. men, 1 p.m. women), pending weather considerations.
