The Nebraska Cornhuskers men's tennis team competes as part of NCAA Division I, representing the University of NebraskaâÂÂLincoln in the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska has played its home matches at the Sid and Hazel Dillon Tennis Center since 2015.
The program was established in 1928 and has made the NCAA Division I championships three times. Five Cornhuskers have won conference championships and seventeen have been named all-conference selections. In 1989, Steven Jung was the NCAA Singles runner-up and was named NU's first All-American.
The team has been coached by Peter Kobelt since 2023.
For most of its history, Nebraska's tennis facilities and offices were spread across the city of Lincoln and lacked the amenities of most of NU's conference peers. Playing at indoor and outdoor courts miles apart was challenging when weather forced last-minute venue changes. At the time it joined the Big Ten in 2011, Nebraska was the only school in the conference without an indoor on-campus tennis facility.
Nebraska constructed the Sid and Hazel Dillon Tennis Center, its first standalone tennis complex, in 2015. It was built north of Nebraska Innovation Campus as part of a larger $20.4-million project which also included Barbara Hibner Soccer Stadium. The Dillon Tennis Center has 1,400 permanent seats across six indoor and twelve outdoor courts, each with a DecoTurf hardcourt surface.
Nebraska has appeared in three NCAA Division I tournaments with a record of 0âÂÂ3.
