Men's Tennis Takes on TCU in NCAA Super Regionals

No. 18 Stanford travels to No. 2 TCU on Saturday, May 9

Event Coverage

  • Stanford will play in the NCAA Super Regionals for the fifth consecutive season, as the No. 18 Cardinal continues its postseason journey in Fort Worth, Texas against sixth-seeded No. 2 TCU. The first serves are set for 11 a.m. PT on Saturday, May 9.
  • Stanford advanced through the regional rounds of the NCAA Championships in College Station, Texas, first beating No 43 Penn, 4-1, before taking out host No. 10, and 11th-seeded, Texas A&M, 4-2. The Cardinal was one of two non-seeded teams to reach the round of 16, along with Pepperdine, while Stanford has now advanced to the Super Regionals on the road in four of the last five seasons - no other program nationally has more than one over that stretch.
  • One of three ACC teams to reach the Sweet 16, the Cardinal enters the weekend with a 19-8 overall record and 9-4 mark in the ACC, tying for third place in the conference standings. Stanford split four of its six ACC weekends with two home sweeps, in addition to a road victory at California. The Cardinal swept then-No. 36 SMU and Boston College March 13-14 before opening the brand new Arrillaga Tennis Center with 4-3 wins over then-No. 3 Wake Forest and No. 23 NC State. The Cardinal boasts 11 ranked wins this season, including five in the top-25.
  • Alex Razeghi and Alex Chang garnered All-ACC accolades, with Razeghi landing on the second team in both singles and doubles, with Chang selected in doubles.
  • The Cardinal enters the match ranked No. 18 in the country in the April 30 ITA computer rankings, dropping from a season-high No. 3 in the Jan. 28 rankings, which was the program's highest ranking since March 27, 2018. Alex Razeghi (No. 57) and Hudson Rivera (No. 81) were ranked in the updated singles rankings while the duo of Alex Chang and Razeghi slots in at No. 22 after previously reaching a season best mark of No. 6 on March 17.
  • Alex Razeghi leads the team with 21 singles wins this season, including an 18-1 mark in dual play and six match clinches, while five players have reached double figure wins: Leach (16), Chang (15), Rivera (15) and Godsick (12). The tandem of Chang and Razeghi paces the Cardinal with 17 doubles wins while the duo and Godsick and Rivera has posted eight. Chang and Razeghi also reached the round of 16 at the NCAA Doubles Championship in November.
  • Stanford is 4-10 all-time against TCU, meeting last in 2025 in the semifinals of the ITA National Team Indoor Championships. With a win, Stanford would advance to the NCAA final site for the second consecutive season.
  • Jagger Leach was named ACC Rookie of the Week on April 7 for the third time this season for his performance in the wins over Wake Forest and NC State. Leach clinched both matches in dramatic, three-set fashion at the Arrillaga Tennis Center.
  • After a strong performance at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships, Alex Chang and Alex Razeghi were crowned the ACC Doubles Team of the Week on Feb. 19. The duo went 3-0 in doubles at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships with two wins over top-10 teams. Additionally, they were named to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships All-Tournament Team at No. 1 Doubles.
  • The Cardinal finished a remarkable season in 2024-25, going 26-6 overall while winning an ACC Championship in its first season in the conference and advancing to the national semifinals of the NCAA Championships and the ITA National Team Indoor Championships.
  • Stanford returns seven players from last season's roster, including ITA All-American Samir Banerjee and four additional players that won at last nine singles matches last season. The Cardinal added a trio of strong newcomers in Jagger Leach, the top-rated recruit in the country per Tennis Recruiting Network, five-star signee Mark Krupkin and California transfer Alex Chang, who was an All-Pac-12 second team honoree for the Golden Bears in 2024.
  • The Cardinal has had success on the professional level, notably with Nishesh Basavareddy, Tristan Boyer and Arthur Fery in recent years. All three have earned grand slam wins, including second round Australian Open appearances in 2026 from Basavareddy and Fery. Boyer has reached the second round of the US Open and the Australian Open, while Fery also reached the second round in singles at Wimbledon in 2025, beating the world No. 20 player Alexei Popyrin, and 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, with the program earning 12 ITF futures championships in the summer of 2025, including eight titles from returning players.
  • Paul Goldstein is in his 12th season as the Taube Family Director of Men's Tennis. Goldstein’s teams have posted a 211-87 record with a national ranking and a berth in the NCAA Championships in each of his seasons at the helm.
