Doubles teams undefeated for unbeaten Greenwich boys tennis team

Greenwich’s Cai Jain and Nick O’Brien play first doubles and are undefeated. All of the Cardinals’ doubles teams are unbeaten so far this season for the 14-0 Cardinals.

Entering tomorrow’s home match against Stamford, the Greenwich High School boys tennis team has a record of 14-0 and the unbeaten season has seen all three of its doubles teams win every singles match.

How’s this for perfection? The Cardinals’ three doubles teams are a combined 42-0 on the season, through the team’s 14 matches.

“A pretty incredible group of guys,” Greenwich coach Ray Marschall said.

Indeed, the Cardinals’ doubles teams have been dominant this spring and they added to their impressive win total during the squad’s latest victory – a 6-1 win at home against St. Joseph on Tuesday.

At No. 1 doubles against St. Joseph, senior Dylan Atkinson, who usually plays at first singles, got the start at the top doubles spot, as he teamed with senior Cai Jain. The duo swept to a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 1 over Dominic Bray and Mikail Naqvi.

In the No. 2 doubles matchup, sophomore Rohan Mittal and junior Harrison Wolfe were 6-0, 6-0 winners against Billy Kibbey and Daniel Lee of St. Joseph, while senior Zachary Toback and senior Nick O’Brien were victorious at third doubles, 6-0, 6-0.

In singles play, junior Tristan Sowter played at the No. 1 spot for GHS and promptly posted a 6-1, 6-3 win. Nick Frumin, a sophomore, won his matchup at third singles, 6-0, 6-0 and sophomore Daniel Lee took his match at fourth singles by forfeit.

Greenwich competed against Wilton on the road on Monday and also earned a 6-1 victory. Atkinson continued his successful season at first singles, winning 6-0, 6-0. Volodymyr Dombrovskyi, a freshman, recorded a 7-6, 6-1 at No. 2, while senior David Karetsky was edged in three sets at third singles. Manuel Galli Specos, a sophomore, posted a 6-2, 6-3 triumph at No. 4 for the Cards.

The Cardinals dominant doubles team of Jain and senior Nick O’Brien came back to notch a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 win, keeping their undefeated record intact. Mittal/Wolfe (No. 2) were 6-3, 6-3 winners at No. 2, while junior Bruce Lunder and sophomore Alex Salib won in three sets at No. 3, 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-1.
