INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - North Florida men's tennis' Dominik Barton is tabbed to the 2022 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Singles Championship field of 64 as announced by the national organization. Barton will get a chance at the individual title May 23-28 at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex on the site of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The Koprivnice, Czech Republic, native is the first Osprey selected to the field since Jack Findel-Hawkins advanced all the way to the NCAA Singles Quarterfinals May 27 of 2016.
Barton went 9-5 in singles play on the season, having his playing time limited due to injury despite turning in a 4-1 mark in ASUN play and a 5-2 tally in tournament competition. Barton became the first Osprey in UNF's DI era to advance to the semifinals of the ITA Southeast Regionals, doing so with four wins against Power Five opponents during the fall season.
A two-time All-ASUN honoree, Barton has been ranked in the last nine Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Singles Polls, while being tabbed No. 77 in the nation April 27, 2022. He is a four-time ASUN Player of the Week and a three-time ASUN Honor Roll student.Â
Barton is the lone selection from the ASUN Conference as an automatic qualifier to the field.Â
