DURHAM, N.C. – After wrapping up play at the ACC Championship last week, the No. 34 Duke men's tennis team is turning its attention to the NCAA Championship. The Blue Devils will learn their regional pairing on Tuesday as part of the NCAA Men's Tennis Selection Show. The show will be streamed live at 5 p.m. on NCAA.com.

The Blue Devils have qualified for 24 of the last 25 NCAA Championships. Duke owns an all-time NCAA Championship record of 47-25 and has advanced as far as the quarterfinals, reaching the round of eight in 1993, 1994, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2012 and 2013.

Duke will enter the main event with a 16-9 record. The Blue Devils have faced a challenging slate this year, facing 12 ranked teams with nine top-20 opponents.

The Blue Devils' lineup has been anchored by senior TJ Pura, who finished 11-0 during the ACC regular season, tied for the most ACC victories in a year by a Blue Devil. Pura, who clinched four of Duke's eight ACC regular season wins, is 30-9 overall and has won his last 10 matches. Freshman Nick Stachowiak owns the most wins on the squad with 32, tied for the sixth most by a Duke freshman in program history, and is tied for the top spot with three ranked wins. Freshman Spencer Furman owns a team-best four wins against nationally ranked opponents, including a 5-7, 6-4, 1-0 (6) upset of No. 5 Skander Mansouri of Wake Forest. Sophomore Catalin Mateas has played the most matches at No. 1, going 5-5 there and has won seven of his last eight matches. He was tabbed the March 21 ACC Player of the Week while Stachowiak was the March 7 selection.

In doubles, Stachowiak and Furman have formed Duke's most successful team, winning their first 13 matches, the longest streak for a Blue Devil pair since Henrique Cunha and Raphael Hemmeler won 16 straight from March 5 – May 16, 2013. Court two has been anchored by sophomores Ryan Dickerson and Jason Lapidus while Mateas and Pura are the usual No. 3 pair.

Head coach Ramsey Smith, in his ninth season at the helm, earned his 175th career victory at Clemson on April 9 to become the third Blue Devil head coach to join the 175-win club, joining John LeBar (1971-82/184-88 record) and Jay Lapidus (1991-2008/373-127).

NCAA play begins May 12-13 with the first and second rounds. The NCAA Championship finals will be held in Athens, Ga., May 18-29.
