MUNCIE, Ind. — Championship tennis is coming to Muncie as the Ball State men's tennis team prepares to host the highly anticipated Mid-American Conference (MAC) Indoors tournament for the first time under dynamic second-year head coach Gene Orlando.
The high-stakes, three-day event will storm into town from Friday, Oct. 23 through Sunday, Oct. 25. The battle for conference supremacy will take place entirely at First Serve Muncie, located on Chadam Lane.
From Friday, October 23 through Sunday, October 25, all seven MAC teams will compete for individual conference titles. Players are vying for a coveted spot in the ITA Masters Championships (Rome, GA, Nov. 5–8), which serves as the direct qualifier for the NCAA Individual Championships (Athens, GA, Nov. 17–22).
This year's tournament marks the dawn of an exciting new era for the conference, showcasing an expanded seven-team field that features some massive changes. Tennis fans will get their first look at brand-new affiliate members Omaha and Drake as they make their official tournament debuts.
The additions completely shake up the landscape, joining a powerhouse lineup that includes host Ball State, Illinois-Chicago (UIC), Toledo, Western Michigan, and Buffalo.
The action promises to be fast, furious, and relentless from the very first point. Every single day of the tournament kicks off with a sharp 9:00 a.m. first serve, bringing elite collegiate tennis right to Muncie's backyard.
