Majmudar made a big leap in the singles rankings from No. 47 to No. 38. The Staten Island, N.Y., native had suffered through a couple of weeks of sickness in late February and the early part of this month in which he struggled against lesser opponents.
After resting for a couple of weeks Majmudar is feeling well and is ready to go.
"There was a stretch where I dropped three of four," said Majmudar," but I have felt good for a while now and I am back on top of my game."
Co-Captain Mike Passarella and sophomore Scott Clark made their debut in the doubles rankings at No. 49.
The team has also been powered by a number of strong efforts over the past month which have provided crucial singles points at the lower positions.
Junior John Doran, the Crimson's No. 3 singles player, has won six straight matches in a streak that extends back to the team's meeting with No. 20 Tennessee at the National Team Indoors in mid-February.
Harvard's No. 4 singles junior Joe Green has won five of his last six matches. Although he lost in the Crimson's match against Virginia at the Blue-Gray, Green has been providing a nearly automatic singles point for much of the past month.
If the Crimson can rediscover the strong doubles play that powered the team before its recent lapse and continue its singles success it ought to advance deep into the tournament.
