With 8 freshmen among the 17 JV players, we got off to a positive start against a vastly improved King squad. With Ryan Friend, our number one player, out with an injury, we had 4 freshman playing singles. We split our singles with Koroush losing at number one, Nick and Firouz winning at number 2 and 3 respectively, and Eddie losing to a crafty senior at the number 4 spot. We then swept the doubles with Matt and Alex squeaking out a win at the number 1 slot, Jack and Dex blanking their opponent, and Yuvi and Lucas winning at number 3. So with 6 freshman playing singles or on our top 2 doubles teams, we have a lot of room for continued growth this year. |

Brunswick 5, GFA 2
Despite missing two of our top five players, GFA played a hard fought match against Brunswick. After a two hour match, Ryan Friend narrowly lost in the third set in number one singles. In the number two slot, Nick Puljic came back to win in a third set, while Firouz Saghri, after winning the first set 6-1, fell in the number three singles position. Eric Dexheimer stepped up and both outsmarted and outhit his opponent in the number four position.
While three of the four singles matches went to three sets, unfortunately Brunswick dominated the doubles. Matt Fisher and Alex Williams were blanked by a very strong number one doubles team. Both number two and three doubles lost 8-3 with Yuvi Singh and Lucas Kesselman losing in the number two slot and Jack Segelstein and Colton Manning losing to repeat singles players in the third position.
While this was our first lost of the season, we played well overall. Our depth has been a strength of ours this season, but we were not able to overcome the absence of some of our top players against a very strong Brunswick team today.
Ryan Friend- 6-4, 1-6, 4-6
Nick Puljic- 4-6, 6-3, 6-2

While the overall results were disappointing, GFA competed well. Brunswick was simply the better team yesterday. After playing them close earlier in the year, Brunswick brought their "A" team and "A" game and thoroughly beat us, as we were only able to win one set for the day. Ryan Friend again played the match of the day, losing in a 3rd set super tie break (10-8) to a very strong player. Nick Puljic, who has been battling illness over the past week, lost a close match. At number three singles, Firouz Saghri competed well in his loss while Eddie Zlatarev had a long match at number four singles which was closer than the final score indicates.
At number one doubles, Eric Dexheimer and Jack Segelstein lost a tight first set before getting beaten handily in the second set. With new teams at number two and three doubles, the lack of familiarity combined with playing very good teams led to sound losses for the pairings of Alex Williams and Charlie Cunningham and Yuvi Singh and Rui Aguiar respectively.
Ryan Friend- 4-6, 6-3, (8-10)
Nick Puljic- 3-6, 4-6
Firouz Saghri- 2-6, 3-6
Eddie Zlatarev- 2-6, 2-6
Jack Segelstein/Eric Dexheimer- 4-6, 1-6
Charlie Cunningham/Alex Williams- 0-6, 2-6
Yuvi Singh/Rui Aguiar- 2-6, 0-6 |
