Juniors, Bill Steuben and Evan Levin, continued their winning ways at first doubles with a straight set victory over Parker’s Rachlin and O’Dea, 6-4, 6-4.  Bill and Evan were runners-up in their last two tournaments and have formed a winning partnership.  Bill’s steady play from the baseline and Evan’s aggressive poaching at the net and strong lefty serve have made them U-High’s most reliable match winners so far this season.

Tyler Anderson played a tough three-setter against Andrei Molchanov.  After dropping the first set 3-6, Tyler came back strong to take the second and build a 3-0 lead in the third.  He had chances to go up 4-0 but Molchanov rallied, held serve, and fought back to break Tyler’s serve.  Serving at 4-5, Tyler made a couple of loose errors and dropped his serve and the set, losing 3-6, 6-3, 4-6.

Madhav Suresh and Nathaniel Levmore played a solid match at second doubles but lost in two very close sets, 6-7, 5-7.  Seniors, Mark Wittels and Alex Hsu, lost at third doubles in straight sets, 3-6, 4-6 to Parker’s Gibbons and Coetze.  Mark and Alex made a good run in the second set after being down 2-5 but could quite come all the way back.  Sophomore Aneesh Gupta lost in straight sets at second singles, 0-6, 1-6.
