GLEGHORN PERSPECTIVE
- "So proud of the way the boys battled today. Unbelievable match by Timo Fischer coming back in the second set and then winning the third set and 10-2 tiebreaker," said Coach Gleghorn. "Matheus Lima again leading our team at no. 1 doubles and in singles with a straight set victory. The man of the match today was Misha Klinkov. As a freshman he is now clinched two matches for us in the first two weeks of the season. He lost a tough second at tiebreaker after winning the first set and a tiebreaker and then it came down to a super tiebreaker which he won 10-5. Super proud of the way that Misha has adjusted to plan on the hard-core and playing in college. He's gonna be a star."
