Men's Tennis Team Adds Bosancic from the Class of 2023
March 04, 2019 | Men's Tennis
The former top ranked junior player in Australia, Thomas Bosancic, is set to join the Princeton men's tennis team this fall.
A Melbourne native, Bosancic reached a high of 48th in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) rankings.
"Undoubtedly, we are extremely excited Thomas will make Princeton his home for the next four years," Princeton head coach Billy Pate said. "He visited last spring and I think it's fair to say he fit right in. Besides being a wonderfully talented tennis player, Thomas displays the type of maturity, core values and leadership we desire. We expect him to be a significant contributor on and off the court for our squad while making an impact immediately."
