DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University men's tennis team is set to open its fall season this weekend, marking the start to head coach Justin Stuckey's third season leading the Bulldogs.
 
Drake will use the fall slate to build momentum and prepare for the spring dual season, testing themselves against competition across the Midwest and beyond.

The Drake Hidden Duals will take place inside the Roger Knapp Tennis Center this Saturday, Sep. 12. The Bulldog men will compete at 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
 
The Dogs' schedule will continue next week at the River Forest Collegiate Invitational hosted by Northern Illinois before returning to Des Moines as the calendar turns to October.
 
Drake will host another home event, the Drake Invite, on Oct. 3. The Bulldogs will then head to Lincoln, Nebraska for the ITA Regional Championships from Oct. 7-11.
 
The 2026 fall slate will conclude at the MAC Indoors from Oct. 23-25 in Muncie, Ind.

Drake will lean on its bulk of returners from last year's record-setting team to pursue a league championship in their first year as a member of the Mid-American Conference.
