Benitez, Tchoutakian and Schretter will open play starting May 24 in Athens, Ga. at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, following the conclusion of the team championship. All matches will be the best-of-three sets. No-ad scoring and a 7-point tiebreaker at six-games-all will be used for all matches. Meanwhile in doubles, Benitez will partner with Will Little to play in that draw.
