Ironically, the two players they beat, Chen and Evans, were also seniors playing their final collegiate matches.
Green, for one, has put his racket down for a while.
"I'm done with tennis," he said. "I'll be starting a job, probably with a firm in New York."
Doran, whose season was unfortunately a short one due to a persistent knee injury that kept him off the court until spring, will most likely keep playing. He has hinted that he will turn professional.
Despite losing two of its top three players, Harvard should still be strong next year. Lingman will make a very good No. 1 as a sophomore, and hopefully the Crimson won't suffer the type of seasonal injuries that kept players, like junior Andrew Styperek, from competing during the Ivy season. The result would be an experienced and deep lineup.
Luckily, Harvard fans won't have to wait long. The 2000-01 season begins in September.
