In the Round of 16, Atkinson topped Paul James from Trumbull, 6-4, 6-2, to move on to the quarterfinals of the CIAC Invitational. Tuesday’s quarterfinals saw Atkinson register another straight set win, this time against fifth-seeded Utsav Ubramani from Cheshire.

Atkinson was a 7-5, 6-4 winner against Ubramani in the quarterfinals, setting up a semifinal-round match against No. 1-seeded Tighe Brunetti from Staples.
