Though the team eventually won 5-2, the doubles trouble foretold what was to plague the team throughout the Classic.
In all three of its matches in Montgomery, Harvard lost the doubles point, conceding at least two of its doubles matches to squads of much lower rankings.
Blake and Majmudar lost both its first and second round doubles matches against Boise State and Virginia.
"I think that we got a little bit comfortable with the doubles play; we lost our focus and it began to show," Majmudar said. "We've focused on it in practice this week a lot so all should be well this weekend."
Harvard's No. 3 doubles team of junior John Doran and freshman Cillie Swart lost all three of their matches at the Classic.
Individually the team has been doing quite well. Blake retained his No. 1 singles place in the latest ranking. Earlier in the month he was named the ITA's player of the month for February.
Blake and Majmudar remained near the top of the doubles rankings, falling only one spot to No. 3 after their pair of losses over the weekend.
