CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard men's tennis wraps up another successful season on the court in 2024-25 that saw a host of strong wins, national recognition, and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
"We are immensely proud of our seniors and our team's performance this past season," said head coach,
Andrew Rueb '95. "It all begins with a strong team culture, and we were fortunate to have exceptional senior leaders in Danny and Elisha as captains. Our team was deeply committed to one another and the learning process, which made the year truly enjoyable for us as coaches. Winning the ECACs and achieving a #21 national ranking are remarkable accomplishments, directly reflecting the dedication and character development of the entire team."
The Crimson played a handful of top nationally ranked teams to open the nonconference regular season including defeating tennis powerhouse Georgia for the first time in program history as it hosted the ITA Kickoff Weekend for the second straight year.
Continuing its success into the middle portion of the season, Harvard climbed back to the top of the ECAC for the first time since 2022, collecting three wins over Brown, Penn, and Princeton to win its 24
th title.
The Crimson posted its third straight 20-win season as it won five of its final six out of league matches and then with 5-2 in Ivy action.
Following a strong closing to the regular season, Harvard earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, drawing the Tucson Regional. In its sixth straight tournament appearance, the Crimson defeated No. 37 Washington to advance to the round of 32. For the fourth consecutive season, Harvard won its opening round matchup 4-0.
The Crimson's seasons ultimately came to a close in a hard-fought battle against the top 10 ranked Arizona Wildcats.
Harvard bids farewell to its three seniors
Daniel Milavsky,
David Lins, and
Kareem Ansari. The three made tremendous impacts on the Crimson as it continues to remain in the national spotlight year after year.
Milavsky will leave Cambridge as one of the strongest players in program history after a dominant senior campaign. The Massachusetts native capped off his career with 36 wins across singles and doubles play and a pair of unanimous All-Ivy selections in 2024-25.
