Ole Miss men's tennis will begin its 2026 fall season Friday at the Milwaukee Classic, scheduled for Sept. 11-13 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The tournament is the first of nine events on the Rebels' fall schedule.
Junior Kai Milburn and sophomore Igor Kudriashov will represent Ole Miss in both singles and doubles competition.
Milburn recorded 21 doubles victories during his sophomore season, the third-most on the team. He also had 10 dual doubles victories while competing on court one and reached a career-high No. 11 in the ITA doubles rankings alongside Isac Strömberg.
Kudriashov reached career-high ATP rankings of No. 625 in singles and No. 575 in doubles.
Ole Miss returns four players from last season's roster: Milburn, along with sophomores Stefano D'Agostino, Vlado Jankanj and Pietro Pampanin. The Rebels also added five transfers for the 2026-27 season, including Kudriashov, seniors Moritz Kudernatsch, Mason Landreth and Stefan Vedovelli, and junior Niccolo Baroni.
After the Milwaukee Classic, Ole Miss is scheduled to compete at the ITA All-American Championships in Tulsa, Oklahoma, from Sept. 19-27; the Fayetteville ITF from Sept. 28-Oct. 4; and the Black and Gold Invitational in Nashville, Tennessee, from Oct. 2-4. The remaining fall schedule includes events in Auburn, Alabama; Rome, Georgia; Norman, Oklahoma; Gainesville, Florida; and Athens, Georgia.
