Quote

"First off, my thanks to all of the support from the administration, operations, business and maintenance in making this week's tourney a success," Director of Tennis Gary Sussman said. "On the court we had some very good wins and some tough losses, but overall I was pleased with the way the men competed and comported themselves over the two days.  The fall is all about getting reps and building team chemistry, and I think we were successful on both fronts."
