Nathan Blokhin | Unanimous Rookie of the Year, Second Team All-Ivy Singles
A Crimson student-athlete was named Ivy League Rookie of the Year for the second consecutive season as Blokhin became the 10
th Harvard player to win the award in program history. The first-year was a strong and consistent presence for Harvard all year long, accumulating 24 singles wins and 10 doubles wins. Blokhin's singles record of 24-7 was the best of any Crimson player in 2025-26. In the dual season alone, Blokhin had a record of 16-3 while playing primarily at the No. 3 spot. The Florida native tallied an unblemished 5-0 record in the Ivy League season and also held leads in his two abandoned matches. Throughout his first season, Blokhin reached a high of No. 27 in the ITA Division I Men's Singles Rankings and accumulated three ranked wins.
Rohan Murali | Unanimous First Team All-Ivy Singles
Murali tallied his second All-Ivy honor of his career following a breakout junior season. The California native had the second-most singles wins this season with a record of 20-10. Murali began his season at the No. 2 spot before moving up to the top singles spot in the second half of the year. The junior accumulated four top-30 wins throughout the spring, defeating No. 7 Paul Inchauspe (Princeton), No. 14 Ozan Baris (Michigan State), No. 21 Romain Gales (Clemson), and No. 29 Vignesh Gogineni (Yale). Murali's gritty win over Inchauspe handed the Princeton player his first loss of the dual season and helped lift the Crimson over the Tigers earlier this month.

Privara received Honorable Mention All-Ivy for singles for the second time in as many seasons following another solid campaign. Privara tallied 11 singles wins this season including three during Ivy League play while competing at the No. 2 singles spot. The Slovakia native also recorded a ranked win this season, defeating No. 11 ranked player Martin Borisiouk (NC State) in February.

The Harvard pairing recorded a 15-5 record in the dual season and accumulated 20 total wins throughout 2025-26.
