USC Men’s Tennis Splits Up For Two More Fall Tournaments

LOS ANGELES – Following a two-week break, the USC men's tennis team is back to work with two fall tournaments. Three players will head to the ITA West Sectional Championships while four other Trojans will make their way to the USTA SoCal Intercollegiate Championships.

ITA West Sectional Championships
Connor Church, Max Exsted and Nathan Trouve will head to Tempe, Ariz. for the ITA West Sectional Championships from Nov. 5-8.

Exsted qualified for the NCAA Singles Championships at the fall All-American Championships and will look to secure a spot in doubles with Trouve. Trouve and Church will both compete in singles.

The ITA Sectional Championships will be the last chance for some of the top players from across the country to qualify for the 2026 NCAA Individual Championships.

The 2026 ITA Sectional Championships will have a draw size of the following, (Singles: 32) (Doubles: 16). From this, six singles players from each section (24) will qualify for the NCAA Singles Championship (semifinalists, two quarterfinal playoff winners). Meanwhile, three doubles teams from each section (12) will qualify for the NCAA Doubles Championship through the Sectional Championships (champion, finalist, third place).
