RETURNING FROM a three-year hiatus, the Ateneo Men’s Lawn Tennis Team returns with one mission: to revive tennis glory for the Blue and White.

With a promising mix of rookies and veterans, the Blue Eagles look to become a force that will challenge established powerhouse teams in the UAAP. Their potential materialized after impressive preseason performances in the 39th Philippine Columbian Association Open Tennis Championships and the PalawanPay National Collegiate Championships.

Diego Dayrit, Gabriel Gurria, and Nio Tria are some new faces that look to shine this season. In order to transform this squad into a cohesive unit, veterans Gabriel Tiamson and Chester Tiongson were given Co-Captain honors.

Former Blue Eagle and UAAP Season 64 Champion Gee Abacan has tenured experience as the head coach for the Blue and White and will do whatever it takes to maintain a winning culture within the team.  Through grit and discipline, the Ateneo Lawn Tennis Team’s unlimited potential will surge this upcoming season.
