Chu-Choo Chug to Victory

Harvard duo wins doubles title; Martire stars for women

“We tried to monitor it slowly and it just didn’t improve in time,” Bergman said.

She plans to return in time for the Crimson’s meet this weekend with Duke.

“I’m slowly making my way back,” she said.

Harvard Men

Chu and Choo’s doubles win Monday came on the heels of Chu’s upset loss in the men’s singles final.

In that match, Chu dropped a heartbreaking first set to Brown rival Nick Malone and never recovered, falling 7-6 (4), 6-2. Chu, who was seeded first in the field, had defeated Malone in a meeting last fall.

Chu exacted a measure of revenge in the doubles bracket, however, when he and Choo—who earlier earned a consolation round victory in singles—bested Malone and his Brown partner in the second round.

After beating Harvard teammates Cliff Nguyen and Brian Wan in the semifinals, Chu and Choo met Brown’s talented tandem of Nick Goldberg and Adil Shamasdin. Despite falling behind 6-7, Chu and Choo—who stunned the 34th-ranked doubles team in the country in October—strung together nine consecutive points en route to the surprise comeback 9-7 win.

In other men’s action last weekend, Nguyen prevailed in the first-round consolation event after dropping his opening match to Akshay Jagdale of Rutgers.

Also, freshman David Hiniker just missed out on winning the ‘B’-flight consolation event, falling 6-4, 6-4 in the final match.
