LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV men's tennis will be back in action this week when eight Rebel singles players and four doubles teams take part in the 2011 USTA/Intercollegiate Tennis Association Mountain Regional Championships, which are being held across town at the Amanda & Stacy Darling Tennis Center.

The tournament runs from Wednesday through Sunday. Tomorrow gets under way with main draw action but there will be consolation draws in singles and doubles to ensure each entrant at least two matches.

More than 100 men's collegiate tennis players are competing this week in Las Vegas as one of the 24 USTA/ITA Regional Championships for NCAA Division I men and women taking place over these last two weekends of October at campuses throughout the country.
