TROY, Ala. - Troy men's tennis begins its 2026 spring campaign this week by traveling to Florida for a pair of matches. The Trojans will take on Florida State on Sunday at 10 a.m. CT before traveling south to Miami for a matchup against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, also at 10 a.m. CT.
Troy is coming off a successful fall campaign, headlined by the doubles pairing of Luciano Alcocer and Yeras Andres Pastor qualifying for the ITA Sectional Championships.
During singles play in the fall, sophomore Thiago Drozdowski led Troy with five wins in tournament play (5-2). Drozdowski is looking to take a step forward in his second collegiate campaign after finishing 3-3 in singles and 8-12 in doubles a year ago.
Also in his second season with the Trojans is sophomore Hiiro Sakamoto. The Kumamoto, Japan native was named Sun Belt Freshman of the Year last season thanks to a 26-7 overall record.
Troy's spring schedule features 14 home matches at Lunsford Tennis Complex, the first being on Jan. 23 when the Trojans host Auburn University at Montgomery for a doubleheader at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The Trojans' first Sun Belt match of the season will be at home on March 8 against Louisiana at 10 a.m.
