CONWAY, S.C. – For the first time in Coastal Carolina men's tennis program history, the Chanticleers have both a nationally-ranked singles player and a doubles team in the Oracle ITA Division I Men's Tennis rankings.
Fifth-year senior
Bastien Huon, who broke into the national rankings last week, is ranked No. 109 in singles this week by the ITA. Huon is 6-1 on the season in singles play this year while playing at the No. 1 spot in the CCU lineup.

The doubles team of
Pyry Hyrkkonen and
Diego Giraldo broke into the doubles rankings this week, coming in at No. 65 overall. The tandem is 3-0 this season with all three wins coming at the No. 1 doubles spot.
The pair becomes the first CCU doubles team to be ranked nationally by ITA.
