Incoming freshmen tabbed among top men's mid-major sigining classes
The Grand Canyon 2024 men's tennis recruiting class was ranked No. 12 among men's mid-major classes by Tennis Recruiting Network.
GCU makes its program debut in the Tennis Recruiting Network recruiting class rankings behind No. 11 Santa Clara and ahead of No. 13 Georgia Southern and No. 14 Liberty.
The Tennis Recruiting Network cited two incoming freshmen, 17-year-old juniors star Andreas Loizas of Greece and 18-year-old Finbar McGarvey from Great Britain, as reasoning for the ranking, Lozias boasts a No. 157 International Tennis Federation ranking and a 12.15 Universal Tennis Rating, while McGarvey carries a No. 492 ITF ranking, and an 11.43 UTR.Â
The ITF is the world governing body of tennis. With more than 200 member nations, it is one of the largest federations in world sport, while the UTRÂ is the global tennis player rating system intended to produce an objective, consistent and accurate index of players' skill in the game of tennis. UTR rates all players on a single 16-point scale, without regard to age, gender, nationality or locale of a given match.
These 25 ranked teams represent 13 conferences and 12 states, with the most teams coming out of California.Â
The West Coast Conference, which GCU will be joining at the conclusion of the 2025 season, tallied the second most rankings with four top-25 classes: Pepperdine (No. 1), San Diego (No. 2), Santa Clara (No. 11), and Pacific (No. 24).
