Back at Taube to Face Saint Mary's

- No. 9 Stanford is 8-2 on the season, including five ranked wins and a perfect 5-0 record at Taube Family Tennis Center.
- Stanford is coming off a 1-2 weekend at the ITA Indoor National Championships, where Stanford earned a win over then-No. 12 Texas A&M.
- Arthur Fery is the nation's No. 2 ranked singles player, and became Stanford's first No. 1 ranked player in over 10 years earlier this spring. He holds a 17-2 overall record this season, including a 7-0 mark in dual action. Fery is 7-0 against Pac-12 opponents and 7-2 against ranked foes as a sophomore. Stanford has three singles players ranked this week: Fery (2), Max Basing (83) and Alexandre Rotsaert (94); and two doubles teams: Fery/Rotsaert (7) and Fery/Geller (21).
- Aryan Chaudhary ranks second on the team 15 singles wins, while five athletes have at least three dual wins: Fery, Chaudhary, Basing, Geller and Sangeet Sridhar. The pair of Fery and Rotsaert also reached the championship match at ITAs, and hold a 15-4 record together.
- The Cardinal last faced the Gaels in 2021, and is 9-0 all-time against the Bay Area foes.
- Axel Geller stands just one victory shy of becoming the 40th singles player in program history to reach 40 dual singles wins.
- The Cardinal finished the 2020-21 season as Pac-12 champions in men's tennis for the first time since 2015, while the title was the program's first in outright fashion since 2003. The Cardinal went 11-6 on the season with a 6-1 mark in Pac-12 play, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in Charlottesville, Virginia.
- Arthur Fery and Axel Geller return as All-Pac-12 selections from a year ago, while Geller also earned CoSIDA Academic All-America distinction.
