LINCOLN, Neb. – The Wichita State men's tennis team makes its first team appearance of the fall starting Wednesday at the 2026 ITA Central Region Championships at Nebraska's Sid and Hazel Dillon Tennis Center.

Pablo Roche Alcaya is the only Shocker to have seen tournament action this fall after making his ITA debut at the All-American Championships back in September. Alcaya, along with Rodrigo Cruz and Amir Milushev, will begin play in the main draw on Thursday.

Starting things off for the Shockers in the singles qualifying Wednesday will be Felix Bockelmann-Evans, while Bautista Leguizamon received a first-round bye.

The Shockers doubles pairs will be Alcaya and Cruz, Bockelmann-Evans and Leonard Tremolay and Leguizamon and Milushev.

The ITA Regional Championships also give players a chance to earn a spot at the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships, which take place Nov. 17-22 in Athens, Ga. The top two singles players from each region receive an automatic bid to the Singles Championships, while the doubles champion from each region will earn a berth in the Doubles Championship.
