Stanford was placed in the Waco bracket at the ITA Indoor National Championships, held Feb. 14-18, with matchups to be announced later.
- Stanford enters the weekend at No. 13 in the ITA coaches' poll, up five spots from last week. Samir Banerjee entered the spring ranked at No. 35 and the doubles pair of Banerjee and Nico Godsick is slotted No. 36.
- Stanford had five singles players in the ITA preseason rankings: Samir Banerjee (#23), Henry von der Schulenburg (#32), Kyle Kang (#66), Max Basing (#73) and Nico Godsick (#125), and three ranked doubles pairs: Samir Banerjee/Nico Godsick (#32), Max Basing/Alex Razeghi (#50) and Kyle Kang/Harsh Hemang Parikh (#76).
- 1-0 against former Pac-12 foes already this season, Stanford improved to 38-5 in the all-time series with the Ducks. This weekend, Stanford looks to build in its series history with the Trojans and Bruins. The Cardinal is 68-79 all-time against USC and 64-75 against UCLA.
- The Cardinal was led by four wins this fall from von der Schulenburg, while Banerjee, Basing, Godsick and Kang had three apiece. The tandem of Banerjee and Godsick went 7-3 in the fall. On the season, Banerjee and Basing lead the way with six singles wins.
- The Cardinal opened the fall season at the ITA All-American Championships, where Samir Banerjee punched his ticket to the NCAA Singles Championship. The junior from New York advanced to the quarterfinals with three wins, including two over top-25 competition and one over a top-five foe. Together with Nico Godsick, Banerjee punched his ticket to the NCAA Doubles Championships at the ITA Northwest Regional Championships in Seattle.
- Stanford went 19-7 in 2023-24, including the program's first Pac-12 Championship since winning the outright title in 2021. The program advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals for the third straight season, and sixth in the last eight. Additionally, the Cardinal advanced to the Super Regionals on the road for the third straight year, previously beating Harvard in 2022 and Columbia in 2023. The Cardinal has reached the Supers stage on the road in four of the last eight seasons, while no other program has more than one over that stretch.
- The Cardinal has had success on the professional level, notably with Nishesh Basavareddy, Tristan Boyer and Arthur Fery in recent years. All three have appeared in a grand slam, with Basavareddy taking a set off of Nikola Djokovic at the Australian Open on Jan. 12. Boyer reached the second round of the Australian Open, defeating Federico Coria, while Fery reached the third round in doubles at Wimbledon in 2024. Stanford's current student-athletes have also seen widespread success in ITF Futures and ATP Challenger tournaments.
- Stanford added three players to last season's roster in Harvard transfer Henry von der Schulenburg, who was a three-time All-Ivy League first team selection, freshman Alex Razeghi, who was the No. 3 recruit in the country and participated in the main doubles draw at the 2024 US Open, and redshirt freshman Nathan Barki, who cracked the ATP top-1,000 prior to joining the program.
- Paul Goldstein is in his 11th season as the Taube Family Director of Men's Tennis. Goldstein’s teams have posted a 169-74 record with a national ranking and a berth in the NCAA Championships in each of his seasons at the helm.
