The Blue Devils get to host the opening rounds of the NCAA Men’s Tennis Tournament.
Monday’s selection show tabbed Duke as the No. 13 seed, and the top 16 teams in the bracket get to play the first two rounds of the team tournament on home court.
The Alabama Crimson Tide, the 21st overall seed, head to Durham as the second seed in the region. Charlotte and UNC Asheville round out the four-team competition.
This is the second straight year that the Blue Devils get to host a regional after they finished the 2023-24 season with an 18-9 record. Duke won nine of its 12 conference matchups, including a 4-0 win over North Carolina in the opening matchup of the ACC Tournament and a 4-1 road victory over a top-10 Wake Forest team on April 12.
Duke closed the season with seven wins in its last nine matches, including five victories in a row from March 15 to April 6.
The Blue Devils take on UNC Asheville at 4 p.m. on Friday, and the winner of that battle will take on either Alabama or Charlotte on Saturday.
