ROME, Ga. – The Portland men's tennis doubles tandem of Nikola Keremedchiev and Stefan Skobelev will be the West Coast Conference representative at the 2024 ITA Conference Masters Championships, hosted at the Rome Tennis Center Nov. 7-10.

The ITA Conference Masters Championships has a field featuring one singles player and one doubles team from each of the 27 NCAA Division I conferences in men's tennis.

Keremedchiev and Skobelev will face Martin Garcia-Ripoll Ore and Francisco Lamas of East Tennessee State and the Southern Conference in the Round of 32 on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. (PT). The winner moves on to face the tournament's No. 2 seeded team of Peter Nad and Sebastian Dominko of Notre Dame on Friday.

The 32-draw field will send three doubles teams to the newly formatted 2024 NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships hosted Nov. 19-24, 2024 in Waco, Texas. The doubles champion, runner up and third place team all will earn qualification.

The ITA Conference Masters Championships is one of four pathways for individuals and doubles teams to earn spots in the championship field, which has shifted away from the Spring season. The others are the ITA All-American Championships, ITA Regionals and ITA Sectionals.
