FAIRFAX, Va. – A total of three George Mason University men's tennis student-athletes earned end-of-season recognition from the Atlantic 10 on Tuesday.
 
Senior Rithik Sardana and freshman Monil Lotlikar were named to the All-Atlantic 10 Second Team, while graduate student Rishab Sardana garnered A-10 All-Academic accolades.
 
Rithik Sardana earned All-A-10 honors for the second time in his career. The Union City, Calif., product played No. 1 in both singles and doubles for the Patriots this season. He tallied a 7-6 dual doubles record while picking up a pair of A-10 dual doubles victories. He also won four dual singles matches at the top spot and a pair of A-10 contests.
 
Lotlikar wrapped up an outstanding freshman campaign in which he earned A-10 Rookie of the Week on April 18. He went 4-1 in A-10 singles matches and 7-2 overall at the No. 3 position. He also partnered with Alvaro Pedraza to go 4-1 in doubles while holding a 9-5 overall dual doubles mark (including five wins at No. 1). He also won his A-10 Championship singles and doubles matches against Davidson. In the fall, Lotlikar made history by becoming the first ever Patriot to win two matches at the ITA All-American Championships, including a victory over Wake Forest's Luciano Tacchi.
 
Rishab Sardana is Mason's first A-10 All-Academic Team selection since Edward Ayers in 2019. He holds a perfect 4.0 GPA in Mason's elite economics graduate program. On the court, the two-time All-A-10 pick tallied a 3-2 record in A-10 dual singles matches and was 3-0 in A-10 dual doubles at No. 2. He posted a 9-4 overall dual doubles record.
