Meister also cited the home crowd as a factor, which he termed "the best of the year."
An interesting coincidence: For the second match in a row, the clinching point was won by Chung, a freshman.
In Harvard's thrilling 4-3 defeat of Princeton, Chung--the last player left on the court--fought back from a 5-4 deficit in the third set to win the match.
Against Yale, however, the melodramatic moments were few and far between. Chung and his opponent traded service games in the first set until the score was 5-5, when Chung broke his opponent's serve for the first time. Up 6-5, he quickly polished off the set, 7-5.
In the next game, Chung opened up the throttle and cruised to a 6-2 win.
"Early on, I was a little nervous," Chung said. "But I got things going later on. It wasn't that big a deal, at all. I did what the coaches told me to do, and it worked."
Yale, apparently, turned out to be not much of a big deal either.
