It didn’t take long for freshman Toki Sherbakov to show his potential.

Sherbakov not only made the smooth transition into collegiate play, he also showed the necessary on-court skills to be an elite tennis player.

Sherbakov’s successful season ended with a team leading 12 dual victories, seven of which came from the No. 2 ranking. He also finished with two wins at No. 1 and three victories at No. 3.

His achievements weren’t limited to singles play.

Sherbakov teamed up with fellow freshman Connor Coates for eight doubles victories throughout the season.

Sherbakov’s victorious campaign did not go unnoticed as he was named Second Team All-Big West in singles.

Being able to establish himself as an elite singles player in his freshman year can only be a sign of things to come for Sherbakov’s college career.
