Francois Musitelli/Jannik Giesse are currently the No. 47 nationally ranked doubles tandem. Musitelli/Giesse won the ITA Atlantic Region Doubles Championship in Charlottesville in the fall, as ODU's duo also earned a bid to the Oracle ITA National Fall Championships, where they downed the No. 9 nationally ranked doubles team in Division I.
