WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue men's tennis standout and 2024-25 Big Ten Singles Champion Aleksa Krivokapic was selected as First Team All-Big Ten, announced by the league office today.
Although a Boilermaker has made the list for eight of the last 10 years, Krivokapic is the first since 2020 to receive first team honors. Rising from unranked to No. 48 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) by the end of the regular season, he is one of four Boilermakers in program history to earn as high of a spot in the poll.
The Podrigo, Montenegro, product went 6-1 over his last eight matches (one unfinished), including three top-12 ranked victories: a 1-6, 6-4, 6-1 comeback victory vs. Big Ten Player of the Year #12 Kenta Miyoshi (Illinois, 3/14), a 6-4, 6-3 win vs. #5 Ozan Baris (Michigan State, 3/23) and a 6-4, 6-4 win vs. #11 Aidan Kim (at Ohio State, 4/20).
Overall, Krivokapic closed his junior chapter with a 10-6 spring record and an 18-9 record during 2024-25.
He is joined by teammate Henrik Villanger as the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award recipient.
