NORFOLK, Va. – Old Dominion men’s tennis junior Adam Moundir (Luzern, Switzerland) is preseason ranked No. 110 in singles, while Moundir and sophomore teammate Aziz Kijametovic (Zivinice, Bosnia & Herzegovina) enter the fall season ranked No. 23 in doubles, according to the first 2016-17 Oracle/ITA Division I Men's Collegiate Tennis Rankings released on Tuesday afternoon.
Last season, Moundir was named the C-USA Player of the Year, the Most Outstanding Player of the Conference USA Tournament and earned All-Conference USA Singles First Team recognition after compiling a 17-5 record in the No. 1 slot and posted a 5-0 mark against C-USA opponents. He claimed victory in 16 of his last 18 matches and ended the year on a 12-match win-streak. Furthermore, the Swiss product defeated three nationally ranked opponents, including a straight-set win over No. 18 Dovydas Sakinis of Dartmouth. He was a two-time C-USA Player of the Week, as well as a C-USA Honor Roll honoree a season ago.
As a doubles pair, Kijametovic and Moundir compiled an 11-5 record at the No. 1 doubles spot and ended the season ranked 66th in the country.
Moundir and Kijametovic punched their tickets to the 2015 USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y. after capturing the crown at the regional championships at Virginia Tech last October.
