Men's Tennis Team to Face Two Top-50 Opponents This Weekend as Ivy Slate Continues
April 02, 2019 | Men's Tennis
Two more ITA top-50 opponents and a familiar face will be on the docket this weekend for the Princeton men's tennis team as the Tigers host Dartmouth Saturday and Harvard Sunday.
The matches will be held at the Lenz Tennis Center unless weather intervenes, which would move play into Jadwin Gym. Live results will be available here.
Princeton stands 17-6 overall and 1-0 in the Ivy after last weekend's win over Penn. Only half the league has started the Ivy season, with Brown defeating Yale last weekend.
The Tigers count five players ranked by the ITA across three doubles teams, with sophomores Damian Rodriguez and Ryan Seggerman ranked 36th, Seggerman and junior Payton Holden ranked 76th, and rookies Justin Barki and Bill Duo ranked 86th.
Dartmouth, ranked 39th as a team, is 11-5 as it opens Ivy play and counts Charlie Broom and David Horneffer as the nation's seventh-ranked doubles team and Broom as the 53rd-ranked singles player. Harvard, ranked 45th, has a pair of ranked doubles teams, though each sharing a player with Logan Weber and Andy Zhou ranked 37th and Weber and Brian Shi ranked 57th. The familiar face is Harvard's volunteer assistant coach Matija Pecotic, a 2013 Princeton grad who is the first and only player to earn three Ivy League Player of the Year awards.
Princeton faced both teams at the ECAC Championship, with Harvard winning 4-2 in a semifinal match and Dartmouth winning 4-0 in a third-place match. Princeton also faced Harvard, then ranked 38th in the nation, on the final day of the spring trip in San Diego in a 4-3 Harvard win. Princeton last defeated Harvard last season in Cambridge, 4-3, and last defeated Dartmouth two seasons ago in Princeton, 4-2.
Following the weekend, Princeton will have its last home match of the Ivy season next Friday against Columbia before heading to Cornell next Sunday.
The matches will be held at the Lenz Tennis Center unless weather intervenes, which would move play into Jadwin Gym. Live results will be available here.
