The TCU Horned Frogs men's tennis team represents Texas Christian University in NCAA Division I college tennis. The team is part of the Big 12 Conference and plays home matches at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center in Fort Worth, Texas. The Horned Frogs are currently led by head coach David Roditi, who was a three-time All-American in his playing days at TCU. [2]

History

TCU first fielded a varsity men's tennis team in 1974 under Bernard "Tut" Bartzen, who would go on to amass more than 500 victories in his 25 years as head coach. The Frogs made their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 1977, led by All-American Randy Crawford. Fifteen more Horned Frogs earned All-America honors under Bartzen, and twelve more teams made the NCAA Tournament - advancing as far as the national semifinals in 1989 and 1996.

Following Bartzen's retirement in 1998, the Frogs were led by a series of short-tenured coaches - Michael Center (1999-2000), Joey Rive (2001-2006) and Dave Borelli (2007-2010) - who combined to produce eleven NCAA Tournament appearances and five All-American players.

On September 7, 2010, TCU alum and three-time All-American David Roditi was named the program's 5th head coach. As of the 2025 season, he has led the Horned Frogs to ten NCAA Tournament appearances, including nine consecutive since 2015 (the 2020 tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic [3] ). In 2015, TCU made the Final Four for the first time since 2001, falling to top-seeded Oklahoma. Roditi led them back to the semifinals in 2023, once again losing. [4] TCU broke through in 2024, reaching the national championship for the first time in program history and defeating Texas to claim its first NCAA national championship. [5] They again played for the national championship the following year, this time falling to Wake Forest, [6] to whom they also lost the indoor championship earlier that season. [7]

In addition to outdoor success, the Horned Frogs have found considerable indoor success under Roditi. The team has qualified for the ITA Indoor Tournament ten times, including seven consecutive trips since 2019. In 2022, the program reached the national championship for the first time, defeating Tennessee 4-1 and claiming its first national championship of any kind. [8] This would be the first of four consecutive trips to the championship round, winning again in 2023 [9] and falling in 2024 [10] and 2025.
