Men's Tennis

The men’s and women’s tennis teams put together outstanding efforts over the weekend and combined to defeat three tough opponents. On Friday, the men comfortably shut out Fairleigh Dickinson 7-0, while the women lost a nail biter against St. John’s, 4-3.

If you listen to Columbia tennis standout Justin Chow explain his story, you will realize that his success comes neither from his technical skill with a racquet nor from his tactical skills on the court.

This weekend, the men’s tennis team opened its season by hosting the Columbia Classic at the Dick Savitt Tennis Center. After three days of play, Harvard took the “A” singles title, while Cornell won the “A” doubles championship.

As a preparation for the approaching regular season, members of the Columbia tennis team will compete with players from seven other teams located across the Northeast to win the Columbia Classic this weekend at the Dick Savitt Tennis Center.

This is a pivotal weekend for men’s tennis. The Lions are playing their first matches today at the Eastern College Athletic Conference tournament in Flushing, an event in which the top two finishers move on to Regional Championships.
