TALLAHASSEE – The Florida State men’s tennis team has finalized its 2023 schedule, head coach Dwayne Hultquist announced Friday.
“I’m really excited with our schedule, which starts with two strong matches in Hawaii,” Hultquist said. “We have a great non-conference that includes home matches against Georgia and Mississippi State and a match at the national campus against Florida. This is probably the toughest schedule we’ve ever add, especially when you include an always-tough ACC schedule.”
The schedule is highlighted by an early January trip to Hawaii and a three-match home stretch before competing in the ITA Kickoff Weekend hosted by Baylor. The annual matchup with Florida is set for Feb. 2 in Lake Nona, Fla., and ACC play opens March 3 at Virginia Tech. The Seminoles have 12 matches at home, including a rematch from last year’s NCAA Tournament with Georgia on Jan. 15.
Florida State is playing 14 teams that appeared in the 2022 NCAA Championships. Last season, the Seminoles advanced to the Round of 16 in the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2009 after defeating No. 11 Georgia in the second round. FSU, one of five ACC teams to advance to the Round of 16, was ranked No. 22 in the final ITA team rankings.
The Seminoles head into the spring schedule boasting three ranked singles players, led by No. 12 Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc. Sophomore Youcef Rihane is the 24th-ranked singles player in the country, and fellow sophomore Jamie Connel is 53rd in the national singles rankings.
