This past weekend, the Harvard men's tennis opened its dual match season with a bang. The Crimson (2-0) swept the weekend, beating Tulsa (4-1) on Saturday, and dominating Kentucky yesterday.
Tulsa, ranked No. 29 in the country, took the doubles point to open up the match at the Murr Center courts.
Playing No. 2 doubles for the Crimson, junior Dalibor Snyder and sophomore Oliver Choo were able to defeat the Golden Hurricane duo of Pavel Sebastyanski and Steve Timperley, 8-4.
Tulsa, however, took the other two doubles matches, and thus claimed the first point of the match. The Golden Hurricane also gained some important momentum.
"It's great to get the doubles point to start a match. We didn't," said co-captain Anthony Barker. "We had to regroup, and go out and get those guys."
The Crimson got what it wanted in the singles competition.
Harvard was able to take four of the six singles matches against the Golden Hurricane, giving it a 4-3 victory on the day.
The middle of the Crimson order played well, and needed to, as its top two players fell to Tulsa. Harvard's three through six slots rebounded and led the charge. Barker and freshmen Mark Riddell and George Turner were victorious for the Crimson.
