MADISON, Wis. – Head coach Danny Westerman announced Wednesday that four-star recruit Tim Dzhurinskiy will be joining the Wisconsin men's tennis program in the fall of 2020.
 
"We are extremely excited to welcome Tim to the Badger Tennis Family," Westerman said. "We have been recruiting Tim for a long time and really love the how much he improved over his junior tennis years.  He is a big guy with an aggressive game style that we feel will transition really well in the college game.  He trajectory over his last 3-4 years in juniors has been tremendous and we know he is only scratching the surface of his development.  We cannot wait to start working with him here in Madison."
 
The nation's 87th-ranked player and 18th-ranked player in California according to TennisRecruiting.net, Dzhurinskiy comes to Madison from Manhattan Beach, California. Dzhurinskiy holds a 29-19 overall record, including a 10-5 record against other four-star players. A two-time Bay League Champion and a Bay Area Classic Champion, he has played for Mira Costa High School for four years, playing No. 1 doubles as a freshman and sophomore, No. 3 singles during his sophomore season, and No. 1 singles during his junior and senior year. 
 
"I chose Wisconsin because of the strong balance of tennis and academics. I expect to meet many new people and learn new things," Dzhurinskiy said. "Danny and Alex (associate head coach Alex Kasarov) are world-class coaches and I can't wait to get to work with them."
 
Off the court, Dzhurinskiy has been stellar in the classroom, being an honor roll student all four years of high school. He intends on studying business administration at UW-Madison. Dzhurinskiy is the son of Eugene and Natasha and has a younger brother, Michael.
