Baylor men’s tennis freshman Devin Badenhorst is the youngest player on the roster, joining the team at the start of the spring semester, but the 6-foot-7-inch athlete from Pretoria, South Africa, has made an early impact.

The 19-year-old joined the Bears with experience in the Junior League in South Africa. Badenhorst was the highest-ranked South African juniors player in his age bracket entering his tenure in Waco, and he currently has a 5-0 record in singles action as well as a 4-1 record in doubles with his partner, sophomore Luc Koenig.
