For the Syracuse Orange All-21st Century Team for tennis, we are going to use the standard college line-up of six singles and three doubles. The Orange qualified for four NCAA team Championships during this time period (2016, 2018, 2019, and 2021). The team advanced to the second round in 2016 and 2019, thanks in part to some of the players on this list.
