DETROIT -- The Wayne State University men's tennis team is ranked third in the Midwest Region and 22nd nationally in the final NCAA Division 2 ranking from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) after a 15-8 overall record and an NCAA Midwest Regional berth.

In singles competition, Cedric Drenth (Sulzbach, Germany / Altkönigschule Kronberg) is ranked fifth while George Day (Southampton, United Kingdom / Peter Symonds College) is 11th regionally.
