And rightly so. Austin dominated the game in every facet. At his best, he sat at No. 7 in the singles ITA rankings and at No. 1 in the doubles rankings with Ryan Lipman then Rhys Johnson at his side. After his final season concluded, Austin received several honors: ITA All-American for singles and doubles, SEC Player of the Year, and First Team All-SEC.
Austin is now pursuing his dream to make it big in the professional tennis world, and he has left some big shoes to fill.
Who has stepped up to the plate (or in this case the baseline)?
