Auburn placed three competitors in the final ITA national rankings for the 2022 season. The All-America doubles team of Tad Maclean and Finn Murgett finished No. 8 nationally. Advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals this season, they finished with a 20-6 overall record this spring. Murgett and Maclean repeated as All-Americans after finishing the 2021 campaign as national runners-up.

Tyler Stice, a first team all-SEC honoree for the second straight year, completed the season with a No. 23 national ranking in singles. A two-time NCAA singles qualifier, Stice defeated the No. 1- and No. 2-ranked players in April and went 19-13 overall, facing 20 ranked opponents.

Maclean, who ends his Auburn career seventh among Auburn career leaders in doubles wins (74) and 11th in combined wins (140), finished the season ranked No. 83 in singles.

Auburn finished 21-11 as a team, Auburn's first 20-win season since 2002. After reaching the SEC tournament semifinals and the NCAA tournament second round, the Tigers are ranked No. 23 in the final ITA team ratings and No. 23 in the Tennis Channel/USTA Top 25.
