CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University men's tennis team opens its 2023 fall season at the Cumberland Tournament, Sept. 6-7, at the Tommy Gray Memorial Tennis Courts in Lebanon, Tennessee.

Austin Peay is joined by host Cumberland, Milligan, and UT Southern and opens their tournament stay with a 9 a.m., Wednesday dual match against the Phoenix before facing UT Southern at 1:45 p.m. that afternoon. The Govs then conclude their season-opening tournament against Milligan at 9 a.m., Thursday.

This week's tournament is the second-straight year the Governors have opened their fall campaign against Cumberland. The Govs won eight singles and three doubles matches in a pair of dual matches against the Phoenix last season, with then-freshman Sota Minami going perfect with a pair of singles and doubles victories.

Austin Peay returns all but one player from last year's team including junior Tom Bolton, who led the team with 14 total victories in the spring, including a team-best nine singles wins.

Bolton and fellow junior Giovanni Becchis led all doubles pairings with five wins in the spring, including four from the No. 1 position.
