Rebels set for nine-event fall slate with four nationally ranked singles and doubles competitors
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss men's tennis has announced its 2026 fall schedule, featuring nine events across eight cities as the Rebels begin preparations for the 2027 spring season.
The Rebels enter the fall with a strong presence in the ITA preseason rankings, highlighted by a pair of nationally ranked singles players and two ranked doubles tandems.
Niccolo Baroni leads Ole Miss in singles, earning the No. 52 spot in the ITA preseason singles rankings, while Igor Kudriashov enters the season ranked No. 91 nationally. Kudriashov also earned the No. 10 spot in the ITA newcomer rankings.
In doubles, the duo of Moritz Kudernatsch and Pietro Pampanin are ranked No. 22 nationally, while Kudriashov and Kai Milburn enter the fall ranked No. 59.
The Rebels will also lean on a pair of returning veterans in Stefano D'Agostino and Vlado Jankanj. Jankanj returns after posting a 20-8 overall singles record last season, including a 17-5 mark in dual-match play. He also went 3-2 overall in doubles and finished a perfect 2-0 in dual doubles competition.
D'Agostino also returns to the lineup after a productive 2025-26 campaign. He finished 14-6 overall in singles and recorded 13 dual-match victories. In doubles, D'Agostino went 11-14 overall and 11-12 in dual-match play.
"We are really excited to get underway this Fall with a really high level schedule of tournaments. A bunch of guys had strong summers, and they've earned the opportunity to play in the best college events this Fall as well as professional ITF events too. Time to get to work now, and I hope everyone follows along this Fall season. Hotty Toddy!" Coach Jacoby said.
The Rebels will open the 2026 fall campaign Sept. 11-13 at the Milwaukee Classic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Ole Miss will then travel to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the ITA All-American Championships, Sept. 19-27. The prestigious event will provide the Rebels with an early opportunity to compete against some of the nation's top collegiate players.
The fall slate continues with the ITF Fayetteville tournament in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Sept. 28-Oct. 4. Ole Miss will also compete at the Black and Gold Invitational in Nashville, Tennessee, Oct. 2-4.
October features three events for the Rebels, beginning with the ITA Regionals in Auburn, Alabama, Oct. 9-13. Ole Miss will return to competition later in the month at the Rome, Ga. Invite, Oct. 23-25, before traveling to Norman, Oklahoma, for the ITF Norman tournament, Oct. 26-Nov. 1.
The Rebels will close out the fall portion of the schedule with the ITA Sectionals in Gainesville, Florida, Nov. 5-8, followed by the NCAA Singles & Doubles Championships in Athens, Georgia, Nov. 17-22.
With a competitive combination of ITA and ITF events, the Rebels will have multiple opportunities throughout the fall to test themselves against top collegiate and professional competition while continuing to develop individually and prepare for the spring season.
