QUEENS, N.Y. - St. John's men's tennis player Roberto Livi was invited to the 2016 Oracle ITA Masters event on Monday after receiving his invitation from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA).
The 32-player tournament is set for Oct. 13-16 in Malibu, Calif. It is one of four national championship events on the college tennis calendar and features 28 student-athletes who earned bids from their respective conferences, plus four student-athletes who received wild cards or at-large selections. Livi received his selection from the BIG EAST conference.
The reigning two-time BIG EAST Player of the Year, Livi went 17-4 in singles play, mostly at the No. 3 spot, and held a 13-7 record in doubles play. Livi was just one of three student-athletes who were voted by unanimous decision to the 2015-16 All-BIG EAST Team, marking his third selection to the team in as many years.
Livi also went a perfect 4-0 in the BIG EAST Championship, helping lead the Red Storm to its third-straight BIG EAST title and earned the tournament's Most Outstanding Player award along the way.
