FAIRFAX, Va. –
The George Mason University men's tennis team will look to build on a strong fall season when the Patriots open the 2024 dual campaign this weekend.
 
The Patriots commence competition on Saturday at 6:45 p.m. with a home contest vs. Georgetown at the Burke Racquet & Swim Club.
 
Then, Mason heads south for a battle with Liberty on Sunday at 5 p.m. in Lynchburg. A live video stream as well as live results from that contest are available online.
 
Mason's strong fall season featured a number of highlights. Niza Simunyola, Zavan Fahim and Hayden Postin each won flights at the Joe Hunt Invitational in September. Simunyola went a perfect 3-0 in Group 2 of the Red Flight, highlighted by a three-set victory over Tauras Mickus of rival Saint Joseph's (6-3, 4-6, 6-3).
 
The Patriots also registered a tremendous team showing at the UMW Invite Sept. 10-11, as the Green & Gold combined to go 18-7 in singles and 10-2 in doubles.
 
Mason will return to Liberty University on Sunday for the first time since October's ITA Regional. At that high-level event, 2023 All-Atlantic 10 selection Monil Lotlikar partnered with Simunyola became the first Patriots to reach the Sweet 16 of the ITA Regional doubles draw in nearly a decade.
 
The dynamic Mason duo knocked off the William & Mary team of Raptis/Joseph in thrilling, tie-breaking fashion during the Gold Round of 32. They dominated the tiebreak, 7-2, to advance to the Round of 16. In that match, the Patriots fell to the sixth-seeded Virginia Tech duo of Harper/St-Hilaire.
 
After this weekend, Mason resumes competition on January 27 with a dual contest at Navy.
