RAHEEL MANJI
Q. Favorite Memory at IU?
A. Reaching one of the higher team rankings in program history and beating Oregon with the best home crowd attendance, my first season. Leading the team for the first time, to its best season start since 2003, my junior year. As a senior, seeing my younger teammates embody the right competitive mindsets which lead to some great performances and will set them up for great careers ahead. All the belief I saw Coach Wurtzman and Coach Murray had in me throughout and learning from them.
Q.What Will You Miss The Most?
A. I will miss playing under Coach Wurtzman the most.
Q. Who Do You Want To Thank?
A. I want to thank my father for showing me how to be successful in sport, Coach Wurtzman for investing everything he could in me as a tennis player and person, Coach Murray for giving me perspective and making my career so much more enjoyable and Jeremy Gray, who has given our program everything we needed and more. I also want to thank Dr. Ron Thompson for the support he's given me throughout my time playing for Indiana and finally my teammates who have been my best friends.
KEIVON TABRIZI
Q. Favorite Memory at IU?
A. I'd say this past weekend's match against Iowa will stick with me for a long time. That was the most connected I've felt our team ever was throughout my two years here and it was a great team win on the road. We stormed the court after Zac clinched the match and the vibes after that were great
Q. What Will You Miss The Most?
A. I'm gonna miss my teammates the most. Throughout my two years, they were the ones that I could count on and turn to. I'm gonna miss not being able to play alongside them and sharing unforgettable moments on and off the court. I'm also gonna miss the organization/schedules for practice which made life so easy with a set plan.
Q. Who Do You Want To Thank?
A. I'd like to thank my parents for always supporting me, my teammates for always being there, and finally the coaches for giving me the opportunity to play for and represent Indiana University
