The Tigers hosted Blue Ridge on May 20th down at the Landon Tennis Center. Emerging from singles play with a team score of 4-2, the match result hinged on the doubles action.
Unfortunately, the gas ran out for the team despite a prolonged effort by all the duos. As usual, the scores don’t tell the whole story. Of particular note was the play between Blue Ridge’s He and Hargrave’s Liu (playing down at #5 singles due to an strained wrist injury) which saw over 30 deuce points with few unforced errors that ended up as an unassuming 10-4 score. Great play all around.
