“We very much expected to win, and it was very disappointing to lose,” Valkin said.

After a semifinal win against Dartmouth’s Jesse Paer and Borko Kereshi, which was easier than the 9-7 score indicated, Chiu and Valkin faced the Moss-Charm duo.

The Crimson duo fizzled in the finals, and the pair fell 8-3.

“We could have had a little more spark and energy,” Valkin said.

Unusually, the doubles championship is held before the singles championship, which Valkin admitted may have caused the two to overlook the doubles final.

In B-flight singles, Gardner’s victory was momentous for the sophomore. His win came on the same day as his 6-1, 6-4 semifinal win over Raj Shrestha of Dartmouth.

“Caleb had a breakthrough tournament,” Mandeau said.

Freshman Max Tedali was also able to reach the B-flight semifinals. Tedali defeated Dartmouth’s Eli Samaha, 6-3, 6-3, in the first round before defeating Samaha’s teammate Priya Sahu, 6-4, 6-2, in the second.

The Big Green Invite allowed most of the Crimson to finish the fall season on a high note. With the success of players usually left off the roster, Harvard has the luxury of juggling its ladder in the Spring.

“We probably have 12 players that could fit into six spots,” Mandeau said. “We’ll see over the winter how everyone works out.”

Senior co-captain Cliff Nguyen is the only player with an event left this fall. He will travel to the ITA National Indoor Singles Championships in Ann Arbor, Mich., in November.
