Banerjee enjoyed a breakout campaign at No. 1 singles for Stanford, helping to lead the program to the ACC Championship in its first season in the conference. The Basking Ridge, New Jersey native was an All-ACC first team selection and twice earned weekly honors from the ACC, as the Player of the Week on Feb. 18 and as part of the Doubles Team of the Week on Feb. 4.

Earning his first-career All-America honor, Banerjee finished the season ranked No. 11 in the country in singles and No. 40 in doubles, alongside Alex Razeghi. His season-high marks were No. 32 in doubles and No. 7 in singles, which is a career-best. Banerjee went 13-8 in singles, including 10 ranked wins and an 8-3 record against top-25 players, and 19-11 in doubles. He qualified for both the NCAA singles and doubles championships in November.
