- Stanford remained steady as the No. 11 team in the country, and the third-highest ranked team in the Pac-12. The Cardinal takes on conference and top-10 foes No. 3 USC Friday and No. 10 UCLA Saturday, both at 2 p.m.
- Freshman Neel Rajesh provided the clinching point for both of Stanford's wins in the ITA Kickoff, with the Cardinal dispatching Tulane (4-1) and No. 13 California (4-0) to advance to the ITA Indoor Championships next month in Madison, Wisconsin.
- Alexandre Rotsaert paced the squad at the Sherwood Cup, where he won four consecutive bouts to advance to the championship. The final match appearance marked the second-straight year Rotsaert reached the Sherwood Cup finale.
- The Cardinal is 3-0 to start the dual slate, with a 4-0 win over UC Davis leading into last weekend's success at the ITA Kickoff.
- Stanford trails in the all-time series with USC, 63-69, which dates back to 1967. The Cardinal has won four of the past seven meetings, and two of the last three at the Taube Family Tennis Center.
- The Bruins lead the all-time series, 72-59, which also dates back to 1967. Stanford last topped UCLA on Feb. 4, 2018, and the Cardinal is 2-3 in the last five matchups at home.
- Paul Goldstein, the Taube Family Director of Men's Tennis, stands just four victories away from becoming the fourth head coach in program history to reach 100 career wins. Former Stanford head coach Dick Gould, for who the tournament is named, recorded 776 victories in 37 years at the helm of the program.
