ECAC Bracket
Winners of five in a row, the Princeton men's tennis team will head back to the site of their 2016 ECAC Championship title when Penn hosts the 2019 tournament beginning Friday.
Princeton has drawn the second seed a field that includes seven of the eight Ivies and will open against seventh-seeded Yale Friday at noon. The Tigers will then face either third-seeded Harvard or fifth-seeded Brown Saturday at 9 a.m. with a first-round loss or Saturday at 3 p.m. with a first-round win. One of first-seeded Dartmouth, fourth-seeded Cornell or fifth-seeded Penn will await Sunday.
The tournament field counts five ITA-ranked players including 15th-ranked David Volfson of Cornell, 34th-ranked Charlie Broom of Dartmouth, 71st-ranked Robertas Wrzesinski of Harvard, 92nd-ranked Kyle Mautner of Penn and 101st-ranked Lev Kazakov of Cornell.
Six doubles teams are ranked, including two Tiger pairs in 15th-ranked Damian Rodriguez and Ryan Seggerman and 38th-ranked Bill Duo and Justin Barki. Volfson and Daniel Soyfer of Cornell are ranked 39th while Broom and David Horneffer of Dartmouth are ranked 50th. Harvard also has two ranked pairs, in 53rd-ranked Logan Weber and Andy Zhou and 55th-ranked Brian Shi and Logan Weber.
Princeton has swept five home matches this year and took two of three on a trip to Virginia on the first weekend of February.
Three years ago at Penn, Princeton swept through Brown, Penn and Cornell to win the ECAC title for the first time since 2001. Since then, the Tigers have taken two of three matches in each ECAC tournament, dropping the semifinal match.
Following the tournament, Princeton will make its annual visit to the Blue Gray National Tennis Classic in Montgomery, Ala.
