USC men’s tennis has a familiar set of faces heading into their second consecutive NCAA Individual competition, with two Trojans locked in for singles play and one USC duo in that draw. Senior Stefan Dostanic and sophomore Peter Makk have secured their spots in the 64-player NCAA Singles draw, while Dostanic and fifth year Bradley Frye will make their second NCAA doubles appearance.
Following the NCAA Team Championship event, where the Trojans are seeded No. 10, NCAA Individual competition is set to run May 22-27 at the USTA National Complex in Orlando, Fla.
No. 32 Dostanic carries a 19-14 overall singles record this season, going 14-8 in dual action. Carrying a three-match win streak, No. 32 Dostanic reached a career best singles ranking at the beginning of the 2022-23 season, debuting at No. 1 back in August. In Pac-12 singles action, the senior went 7-4. Throughout the year, Dostanic has beaten ten ranked opponents, including four in the top-25. This season, the Southern California native played at center court in every dual match during which he appeared.
No. 48 Makk, meanwhile, grips a nice win streak of his own. He’s won seven straight singles matches as a sophomore entering his second NCAA championship. At 26-11 overall, Makk leads the Trojans in overall singles wins this season (17-4 in duals), while also clinching six matches for Troy.
USC’s top doubles duo – No. 11 Dostanic and Frye – carry a 12-9 overall record in NCAA play. They’ve ranked as high as No. 2 back in September of 2022. The duo will make their second consecutive trip into NCAA Individual action, earning the Pac-12 automatic qualification.
