Dons from Distance | Bernardo Saraiva

SAN FRANCISCO – After putting together one of the best résumés of any male tennis player in USF history, Bernardo Saraiva chose to play professionally. After a four-year pro career, Saraiva retired in 2019. This week, he caught up with USF Director of Creative Video, Katie Morgan, to talk about his life both as a Don and after graduation.

Saraiva begins by recollecting what made he and his college doubles partner Nils Skajaa so effective, highlighting the oddity of spending nearly their entire careers as double partners and how their different playing styles meshed so well.
