First Home ACC Weekend

No. 9 Stanford welcomes No. 29 Miami and No. 25 Florida State to The Farm

  • The ninth-ranked Cardinal continues the 2025 spring slate with its first home matches in the ACC. The Cardinal faces No. 29 Miami on Friday, March 7 at 5:30 p.m. PT and No. 25 Florida State on Sunday, March 9 at 12 p.m. PT.
  • Stanford is 8-4 (0-2 ACC) this spring, including a run to the semifinals of the ITA National Team Indoor Championships. The Cardinal downed Columbia and UCF en route to its first semifinal since 2018.
  • The Cardinal is 8-0 all-time against Miami, in a series dating back to 1975. Stanford last faced the Hurricanes in 2007 at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships (W, 4-3). Stanford also is 0-1 against Florida State, with the only meeting coming in 2007 on The Farm.
  • The Cardinal has excelled this spring, starting with a 7-0 blitzing of Saint Mary's, back-to-back wins away from home at ITA Kickoff Weekend and an LA road sweep of UCLA and USC. After a 4-0 sweep of Oregon in Norman, Oklahoma, Stanford took out the No. 8 Sooners on their home court, 4-1, to qualify for ITA Indoors. The LA sweep was the first for Stanford since 2021-22 and the first road sweep since 2008-09, and Stanford added a 4-0 sweep of No. 36 UC Irvine in its last matchup.
  • Stanford enters the weekend at No. 9 in the ITA rankings, and it has been in the top-10 for each of the last three weeks. Samir Banerjee enters the weekend ranked No. 16 in singles, while Henry von der Schulenburg and Max Basing check in at No. 56 and No. 71, respectively. Stanford has three doubles tandems ranked this week: Banerjee/Alex Razeghi (#37), Banerjee/von der Schulenburg (#49) and Banerjee/Nico Godsick (#54).
  • Henry von der Schulenburg paces the Cardinal with 11 singles wins, while Banerjee and  Basing are close behind with nine wins apiece, and seven players have at least four wins. The program is 33-17 to open dual action in singles play. The doubles pair of Banerjee and Godsick leads the Cardinal with eight total wins, while six combinations have two dual victories.
  • 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 four 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 in doubles prior to joining the program, and redshirt freshman Luke Tusher.
  • Paul Goldstein is in his 11th season as the Taube Family Director of Men's Tennis. Goldstein’s teams have posted a 174-77 record with a national ranking and a berth in the NCAA Championships in each of his seasons at the helm.
