Tennis season is nearly in full swing.
Now, the Journal Star is asking readers to make a fans’ choice for the inaugural preseason high school boys tennis player of the year for 2026. The poll runs through noon Monday, April 6.
Cast your vote in the poll below. There are eight players on the ballot, the same who made our athletes to watch list released March 26.
This vote has no bearing on who will be selected the Journal Star athlete of the year or will make the annual all-area team, which are scheduled to be announced after the season.
