Five Frogs looking to qualify for NCAA Individual Championships
FORT WORTH – Following a two-week break, TCU is back in action at the ITA Texas Regional.
The five-day affair runs from Friday-Tuesday at the Mitchell Tennis Center in College Station.
Competing for TCU are Julian Alonso, Filip Apltauer, Duncan Chan, Albert Pedrico and Kaj Quirijns.
All five players are entered in the singles main draw and begin play on Saturday.
The tournament represents teams second-of-three chances to qualify players for the NCAA Individual Championships, held from Nov. 18-23 in Orlando, Fla.
From the ITA Texas Regional, both singles finalists and the doubles champions will punch their tickets to sport's flagship individual event.
Chan was one of 10 players to qualify in singles at the ITA All-American Championships in September. He is exclusively playing doubles and is partnered with Quirijns.
Alonso and Pedrico are forming an all-Spanish doubles duo.
Chan finished as the doubles vice champion as a freshman at the 2023 ITA Texas Regional. He is the best individual story in college tennis thus far in 2025-26. Chan notched 10 victories over top-100 players in September in his march to an NCAA Individual Championships berth. He swept the Battle in the Bay Classic singles and doubles championships and holds a 16-1 combined overall record.
Pedrico is TCU's highest-ranked player in singles and doubles. He was awarded the preseason ITA No. 4 doubles ranking and was tabbed 77th in singles.
Alonso won four qualifying singles matches at the ITA All-American Championships, including a straight set victory over No. 115 Gabriele Brancatelli of Florida State, in his season debut.
Apltauer was named individual champion at the U.S. College Cup Invitational on Oct. 4. He won all three of his singles matches and finished 5-1 combined at the hidden dual event in Torreon, Mexico. Apltauer is 10-3 overall this fall and has the second-most victories of any TCU player.
Quirijns played doubles alongside Apltauer at both the U.S. College Cup and the Milwaukee Tennis Classic in September. A 2024 Big 12 doubles individual champion, he is 16-9 for his career in doubles in fall invitationals.
Collectively, TCU has produced a 48-19 combined record this fall, with 37 of the victories coming in singles.
