California men's tennis star Carl Emil Overbeck completed a stellar Golden Bear career as a singles All-American on Wednesday when he finished 15th in the final ITA singles poll of the season.
 
The Copenhagen, Denmark, native garnered his first All-America honor for earning a top-20 ranking in the last poll.
 
Overbeck, who graduated from Cal last Saturday, was named to the All-ACC First Team in singles and produced a 26-11 singles record, including a 9-8 mark on court one, in his final season as a Bear. He won his last match – a comeback, 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 effort against 20th-ranked Rudy Quan – in Cal's NCAA Championship second-round match against UCLA. In the fall, Overbeck was the fourth seed in the NCAA Singles Championship and won the singles title in the ITA Northwest Regional Championships. Overbeck defeated several ranked opponents in 2024-25, including then-No. 1 Ozan Baris of Michigan State in September en route to capturing the title at the Battle in the Bay Classic.
 
Also strong in doubles, Overbeck partnered with Theo Dean to finish 36th in the last ITA doubles poll of the season and claim All-ACC Third-Team kudos. The duo competed in the NCAA Doubles Championship in November and was 2-0 in the NCAA team tournament in May, with the Bears defeating the Bruins' Giacomo Revelli and Alexander Hoogmartens 6-3 in their last match together in the NCAA second round in Berkeley.
 
Along with the last rankings for Overbeck and for the pair of Dean and Overbeck, Cal (19-5) finished 12th in the final ITA team poll, Dean (31-11) was 55th in singles, Alex Chang (21-11) was 82nd in singles, and the doubles tandem of Dean and Derrick Chen (5-3) was ranked 86th.
