San Diego – The San Diego State men’s tennis team is poised to kick off its fall tournament schedule this weekend at the Wildcat Invite, hosted by the University of Arizona. The tournament will begin on Friday at 8:30 a.m. PT and will run through Sunday, marking the beginning of the 2025-26 competitive season for the team.
The Aztecs are set to face off against several strong competitors, including players from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), the University of New Mexico, Northern Arizona University, New Mexico State University, and the University of Arizona. The competition promises a robust showcase of talent as San Diego State looks to establish itself early in the fall season.
San Diego State has made strategic roster additions this season, welcoming five new players who are expected to make significant contributions to the team. Among them is freshman William Kleege, a promising local talent and the 2025 CIF Individual Doubles Champion from Torrey Pines High School. Also joining the squad is sophomore Imran Daniel Hazli, a transfer from Baylor, who played on their nationally ranked team and boasts a career record of 9-4 in doubles and 5-6 in singles.
In addition to Kleege and Hazli, the Aztecs have brought in two juniors, Brock Anderson and Aleksi Lofman, both of whom previously competed at Louisiana State University (LSU). Lofman has accumulated an impressive total of 18 singles wins and 23 doubles victories, while Anderson has recorded 20 singles and 15 doubles victories during his time at LSU. Rounding out the new additions is senior Lars Johann, a transfer from Nebraska who has demonstrated his prowess with 46 singles wins and 38 doubles wins and was recognized as the Big Ten Individual Singles Runner-Up in 2025.
Returning for San Diego State are key players, including senior Eugenio Gonzalez Fitzmaurice, an honor winner in the Mountain West for singles in 2025. The team also welcomes back sophomores Marc Kleber and Denis Maijorov, both of whom are looking to build on their performance from the previous season.
The Wildcat Invite will take place at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center, a premier tennis facility that provides an excellent backdrop for collegiate competition. Last season, San Diego State experienced a significant degree of success at the Wildcat Invitational, capturing six wins across the event. Highlights included a standout performance from Brock Anderson, who achieved three singles victories. Additionally, Denis Maijarov and William Kleege excelled in doubles, contributing to the team’s overall success.
This weekend’s tournament offers San Diego State an opportunity not only to showcase its returning players but also to evaluate the potential of its new roster additions. As the team embarks on the 2025-26 season, the upcoming matches at the Wildcat Invite will be critical for building momentum and establishing team dynamics throughout the competitive year.
As the fall season commences, fans and supporters of San Diego State men’s tennis will be keeping a close eye on how the new additions integrate into the squad and how the team evolves as they face off against their rivals.
