TEMPE, Ariz. – The resume continues to grow for Tom Zeuch of UIndy men's tennis. On the same day the Hounds advanced to the quarterfinals of the DII National Championship, Zeuch was named ITA Senior Player of the Year, building upon the 2020-21 ITA Rookie of the Year and 2022-23 ITA Most Improved Senior awards he has already attained through his historic career.
 
Zeuch has had a stellar season this year. He was runner-up at the ITA Cup in Rome this past fall, later becoming No. 1 player in the country and has held onto that spot all season. With partner Matthieu Derache, Tom has climbed to that same No. 1-ranking in doubles, marking the second straight-season for the senior out of Reiser, Germany that he was No. 1 in doubles. Tom has been a force for the UIndy Men's Tennis program and has been the flagship of UIndy Tennis with his sportsmanship and character. Tom is graduating with a Masters in Sports Management.
 
This season, Zeuch sits at the head of the table for the Hounds, going 26-3 in singles, including an 18-2 mark during the regular season, winning his last eight matches in the GLVC tournament, NCAA Midwest Regional and now NCAA Championships. Alongside Derache, he sits at 18-1, winning their last 12 matches together.
 
"Tom's tennis character is marked by his strong work ethic, a reflection of his dedication and discipline on the tennis court. At UIndy he deeply rooted a culture that values perseverance and continuous improvement, always striving to be the best version of himself for his team. Beyond his individual pursuits, Tom has a profound appreciation for the joy of life, which he brings into his play. His love for the sport is evident not only in his personal achievements but also in his enthusiasm for teamwork. Playing for his team, he understands the importance of collaboration and mutual support, making him a special player who uplifts and inspires those around him." said Head Coach Malik Tabet
