Sebastien Foka was a four-year tennis letterwinner (2002-06), who holds the Wayne State records for career singles wins (71), career doubles wins (73) and the most doubles wins in a season (29).

He has three of the top 13 single-season win totals in singles play, while his .853 doubles winning percentage (29-5) for 2002-03 is the second highest in the last 70 years at WSU.

Foka was a four-time All-GLIAC recipient earning First Team All-Conference honors his final three seasons after being voted to the League's Second Team as a freshman.

After splitting time his rookie season between the No. 1 and No. 2 singles slots, he predominantly played the top flight his final three seasons.  Foka had a 7-2 singles record in GLIAC tournament action.

During the 2002-03 campaign, he played both second and third doubles, but then moved to the top doubles tandem almost exclusively for his final three seasons.  Foka recorded a 39-8 regular-season doubles record as a sophomore and junior combined, while helping lead his squad to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances.

Foka was a three-time GLIAC All-Academic Team selection, and was also named to the WSU Academic honor roll five times.

A native of Choisy-le-Roi, France, Foka graduated in 2008 as a double major in anthropology, and peace and conflict studies.
