Austin Krajicek, Grand Slam doubles champion and World No.1… Austin Krajicek, flame thrower…
Krajicek, recent off his maiden Grand Slam doubles title with Ivan Dodig, was available to throw out the primary pitch at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, forward of Wednesday’s recreation between the Rangers and the Angels.
It was a particular second for Krajicek, who received the 2011 NCAA doubles title and is a member of the Texas A&M Hall of Fame. Krajicek was a four-time doubles All-American and a Two-Time singles All-American.
He owns a 170-131 lifetime document in doubles on tour, with ten titles.
Krajicek is the twentieth American to carry the ATP’s No.1 doubles rating – all 20 of them have performed faculty tennis.
