Menlo School senior Andrew Ball will not be following his older brother, Jamin, to Stanford University and continue his tennis career with the Cardinal.

Andrew Ball will be wearing red next season, but it will be the Crimson of Harvard University.

Ball made that commitment recently, deciding to follow in his father's footsteps instead.

Ball, a top-ranked junior in Northern California, has led Menlo to three Central Coast Section titles, three NorCal championships and two national tournament crowns in his first three years with the Knights.

During his time at Menlo, Ball has helped the Knights compile a dual-match record of 83-1. It's the best three-year record in school history.
