KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The Western Michigan men's tennis team opens the 2026 portion of its season with two doubles teams nationally ranked by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. 

Junior Drew Evans and graduate transfer Tim Riedel are 64th in the nation. The duo went 8-2 in the fall, winning the Mid-American Conference Indoor Qualifying Event Doubles A title and earning a spot in the ITA Conference Masters Tournament. At the Conference Masters, the pair picked up a win in the Round of 32 over Dayton's Dylan Jaen and Mikkel Zinder. Their run came to an end after a loss to Middle Tennessee State's Ondrej Horak and Karim Al-Amin.
