Cunha is a senior and Hemmeler is a sophomore and the Duke duo was ranked No. 16 in the country in the pre-season (Sept.) doubles rankings.
"What a great opportunity for Shane (Vinsant) and Harrison (Adams) to compete against the top teams in college tennis," Texas A&M men's head coach Steve Denton said. "It is even more special for a tennis player to be able to compete at the home of the U.S. Open. The key for our team is how well we can hold serve throughout this tournament."
