USC’s Robert Farah Is Headed To Second Olympic Games
June 22, 2021 | Men's Tennis, Olympics
Trojan great will represent Colombia again alongside doubles partner Juan Sebastian Cabal.
A two-time NCAA Team Champion, USC's Robert Farah has also collected two Grand Slam titles as a pro and is now bound for his second Olympic Games. He is also becoming just the second Trojan men's tennis player to play in two Olympics. Not a bad body of work for the Colombian native, who — alongside countryman Juan Sebastian Cabal — are the first Colombians to be ranked No. 1 in the world, qualify for ATP finals, win a Grand Slam and win an ATP Masters 1000 title. In their second trip to the Olympic Games, the pair will be top contenders to medal in Tokyo.
At USC, Farah won two NCAA Team Championships (2009 and 2010) as a Trojan and also won the 2008 NCAA Doubles Championship. He finished his USC career ranked as the No. 1 singles player in the nation and the No. 2 doubles duo in the land in the final 2010 ITA rankings. A two-time Pac-12 Singles Player of the Year, he also was named to the Pac-12 Doubles Team of the Year three times as a Trojan.
The 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo will run July 23-August 8.
