Year in Review: Men's Tennis


STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford men’s tennis wrapped up another strong season under head coach Paul Goldstein, winning 16 dual matches and advancing to the NCAA Super Regionals for the third year in a row. Arthur Fery and Nishesh Basavareddy gave the Cardinal multiple All-Americans for the first time since 2015.

DUAL SLATE ENDS IN SUPERS

Despite an injury-plagued dual slate Stanford worked its way to 16 dual wins, including eight over ranked opponents and four over top-15 foes. Stanford collected two early wins for ITA Kickoff Weekend over Georgia Tech and Texas A&M to punch its ticket to ITA Indoors, where it added a 4-0 sweep of Wake Forest. The Cardinal also picked up a strong non-conference win in Orlando over Florida, 4-1.

Stanford kicked off Pac-12 play on a strong note with home wins over Arizona and Arizona State, and later added wins at Taube over UCLA and California. The Cardinal went 10-1 at home on the season, and is 34-3 at Taube over the last four seasons.

The Cardinal was sent to an Ivy League program for the second straight NCAA Tournament regional, and won the regional on the road for the second consecutive season. After downing Mississippi State and Harvard in Cambridge a year ago, Stanford defeated St. John’s and host Columbia in New York City in May.

 


Traveling to No. 4 Kentucky for the NCAA Super Regionals, Stanford won the doubles point and added wins in singles from Arthur Fery and Filip Kolasinski, but fell 4-3 on the road in Lexington.

A FERY GOOD YEAR

One of the top players in the country, Arthur Fery ended the season ranked No. 3 nationally in singles and No. 22 in doubles and was an ITA All-American in back-to-back seasons. He was named the Pac-12 Singles Player of the Year, the 20th overall in program history, and earned his second straight first team selection and third All-Pac-12 selection overall after a second team nod in 2021. The junior went 21-5 on the season, including an 18-4 mark at No. 1 singles in dual play, earning the No. 3 national seed in the NCAA singles bracket.

Fery ended his season with 14 ranked wins this season, including three over top-eight national seeds at the NCAA tournament. 30 of Fery’s 56 career singles wins have come over ranked foes. Fery was also honored as an Academic All-American on May 31.
