Four members of the fourth-ranked Case Western Reserve University men's tennis team were named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team, as junior Anmay Devaraj, senior Casey Hishinuma, sophomore George Kosseifi, and senior Ajay Mahenthiran were all recognized for their academic and athletic achievements during the 2024-25 season.

This was the second career Academic All-District honor for Mahenthiran, who went on to be named to the Academic All-America First Team last season. Devaraj, Hishinuma, and Kosseifi each claimed an Academic All-District honor for the first time in their respective careers.

The 2024-25 Academic All-District Men's Tennis Team, selected by CSC, recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America program separately recognizes men's tennis honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA.

The Division III CSC Academic All-America program is partially financially supported by the NCAA Division III national governance structure to assist CSC with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2024-25 Division III Academic All-America programs.

CWRU reached the National Championship for the fourth time in the last five years in 2025, placing second at the NCAA Division III Championship in Claremont, California. The Spartans ended the season with a 29-6 overall record and won the UAA Championship for the second time in program history.
