(San Francisco, Calif.) - Tommy Tu, of the USF men's tennis team, has been named the West Region Farnsworth/ITA Senior Player of the Year, as announced by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
Tu earns the award on the heels of his stellar final spring with the Dons.

As a senior, Tu posted a 13-8 record playing No. 1 singles for the Green and Gold. Thanks to his outstanding efforts, Tu also became the second Don to be ranked in the national singles ranking. He earned a season-high ranking of 95th and finished the regular season ranked 103rd.
Tu also posted a strong spring in doubles play, teaming with Asaf Cohen to earn All-WCC second team doubles accolades. During the 2009 dual season, the duo reached a season-high national rank of 87th, posting an 8-5 record at the top spot.
