Quotable
"It was a good win for the guys. We started the match strong with a great doubles point. In singles, we took five of the six first sets with Siddhant Banthia pulling out a 10-0 tiebreaker to finish out the morning. You don't see a lot of 10-0 tiebreakers. Overall, I am proud of our guys today."
