FLORENCE, Ala. (October 21, 2026) – The University of North Alabama men's tennis team will split in half this weekend, sending four players to the ASUN Individual Tournament in Nashville and four players to the Country Club of Birmingham Invite.
The ASUN Individual Tournament begins on Thursday, Oct. 22, and the CBB Invite begins Friday, Oct. 23. Both events will end on Sunday, Oct. 25. The ASUN Individual Tournament will be in Nashville, Tenn. hosted by Lipscomb. The CBB Invite will be in Birmingham hosted by Samford.
UNA's men's tennis team and beach volleyball team are the only two programs on campus that are still members of the Atlantic Sun Conference, as the ASUN sponsors both sports where the United Athletic Conference does not. All other UNA programs joined the UAC on July 1, 2026. Both conferences operate under the Unisun Sports umbrella.
North Alabama had solid performances in its last outing at the ITA Southern Regional, hosted by Auburn. The team totaled 14 wins, with senior Alberto Altur led the Lions with five wins.
Altur and his partner, junior Ethan Dasset, took doubles wins against Alabama and Auburn to reach the semifinals. Dasset was second on the team with four wins, while junior Satoru Nakajima earned three. Junior Rytis Razminas and freshman Adrian Climent Cardona each had two wins, and junior Jip Langerhuizen added one.
