Arizona Men's Tennis Wins Fourth Consecutive Big 12 Championship

The Arizona men's tennis team won the 2025 Big 12 Tournament Championship, defeating UCF 4-1 in the final and avenging two regular-season losses to the Knights. After dropping the doubles point, Arizona rallied in singles with wins from Jay Friend, Casper Christensen, Colton Smith, and Alexander Rozin, who clinched the title. Colton Smith was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, finishing undefeated in singles and contributing a doubles win in the final. This marks Arizona's first Big 12 championship and extends their strong performance under coach Clancy Shields, following multiple Pac-12 titles in recent years. The victory secures Arizona a likely NCAA regional host spot as they await their postseason seeding. Both Arizona and UCF will learn their NCAA tournament matchups during the selection show on April 28.
