The Columbia men’s tennis team has again proven itself to be a solid team as the Lions emerged from the annual Columbia Classic with a series of successful singles and doubles matches this weekend. Among the three players in A singles—senior captain Haig Schneiderman, junior Nathaniel Gery, and freshman Winston Lin—Schneiderman was defeated in the semi-finals by eventual champion, Princeton junior Matija Pecotic, while the other two each gained one win. Freshman Ashok Narayana and sophomore Tizian Butcher won titles in the B and C singles brackets, respectively.
The Lions also found some success in doubles play. Schneiderman and Lin won the A doubles consolation bracket against the Light Blue team of Gery and junior John Yetimoglu. The freshman team of Max Schnur and Narayana played well for the Light Blue and won B doubles. In a similar vein, freshman Bert Vancura and senior Rajeev Deb-Sen acquired the C doubles title.
Up next for the Lions is the ITA Regional Championships, held upstate at Cornell from Thursday, Oct. 13 until Tuesday, Oct. 18.
