ROSEMONT, Ill. — The Ohio State doubles team of sophomore Nikita Filin and redshirt sophomore Brandon Carpico will play for a national championship at the 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Tennis Individual Championships Sunday in Orlando, Fla.
Filin/Carpico will meet Virginia’s Mans Dahlberg and Dylan Dietrich in the NCAA Doubles Championship Final at 12:30 p.m. ET. The match from the USTA National Campus will be streamed on ESPN+.
Filin/Carpico have won four matches in as many days and stand 15-2 on the season following a 7-6 (7-2), 6-4 win over Penn’s Manfredi Graziani and Aaron Sandler Saturday in the NCAA semifinals.
A Big Ten Conference entry has now reached the NCAA Doubles Final five-straight years. Ohio State’s Robert Cash and senior JJ Tracy were the most recent duo to win a national title, doing so in the spring of 2024.
