Men's Tennis to Begin Dual Match Play in ITA Kick-Off

“I’ve been on teams where our top three have been very powerful and our bottom three were not as strong,” Andy Nguyen said. “But having this kind of depth is going to be helpful when we play matches in the spring.”

Although every member of the Crimson team achieved solid results, Denis Nguyen particularly stood out, taking home the singles crown. Nguyen won three singles matches and did not surrender a set.

Chaudhuri contributed another noteworthy performance, winning both of his doubles matches and going 2-1 in singles, with the sole defeat coming to Nguyen in what effectively served as the final.

Overall, Harvard is 44-37 in singles and 21-17 in doubles so far this year, marks that have placed the Crimson amidst other national contenders in the national rankings.

This weekend will be Harvard’s first two dual matches of the season as all of its competition dating back to the fall has come in tournament play.

“We’re not really looking to take too much away from this weekend in terms of results,” Nguyen said. “All of these teams are really good, so if we come away 0-2, it’s not going to mean anything for our season. We’re looking for improvement individually each match so we can work our way towards the Ivy season.”
