RENO, Nev. - After a record-breaking and history-making career, Men's Tennis standout Youssef Kadiri has been named Nevada Athletics' 2024-25 recipient of the Doc Martie Award.

Kadiri becomes the first men's tennis player to claim the honor, which dates back to 1960.

Named for former Nevada men's basketball coach J.E. "Doc" Martie (1923-29, 1930-39), the award is given out annually to Nevada's top male student athlete in their final year of eligibility and in good academic standing.

A two-time All-Mountain West doubles selection and a one-time All-Mountain West singles pick, Kadiri capped his three-year Wolf Pack career with a historic 2024-25 season. With this season being the first in which the NCAA held its singles and doubles championships in the fall, Kadiri battled his way through the qualifying process and became the first player in Nevada history to earn a spot in the 64-player NCAA Singles Championships. En route to the NCAA Championships, Kadiri defeated No. 92 ranked Dzianis Zharyn of Washington at the ITA West Sectional Championships in November.

The Casablanca, Morocco native went 27-11 in singles play in 2024-25, while he and doubles partner Lucas Hammond picked up 22 doubles victories. Kadiri's singles win mark was made even more impressive by the fact that he played every match at the No. 1 position.

Kadiri and Hammond finished the spring regular season 9-0 together, winning all their matches in the top-flight. In the fall, the senior duo was one win away from qualifying for the NCAA Doubles Championships, with their run at the ITA West Sectional Championships ending in the semifinals. During the fall, Kadiri and Hammond defeated No. 11 ranked Wally Thayne and Zach Fuchs at the ITA Mountain Regional Championships.
