Coming off a tough weekend at the Princeton Farnsworth Invitational, Binghamton University’s men’s tennis team has showed its resiliency.

The Bearcats drastically improved on their 3-7 singles record and 1-2 doubles record from last weekend. This past weekend at the Brown Invitational, they compiled a 9-6 singles record and a 5-10 doubles record.

Like their previous tournaments, this one featured stiff competition. Among participating teams were Yale University, Boston College and the host, Brown University.

The top four players on the team played outstanding tennis en route to a dazzling 7-1 record. Sophomore star Arnav Jain went 2-0, defeating Connor Dawson of Yale University and Alex Rastorgouev of Boston College. Freshman Gilbert Wong and junior Moshe Levy experienced similar success, going 2-0 themselves. Sophomore Sven Vloedgraven split his two singles matches. Their solid play certainly did not go unnoticed.

“Our top players played very well in singles,” said Binghamton head coach Adam Cohen.

Sophomore Evan Algier, who participated in his second tournament of the fall season, won both of his singles matches. Algier defeated Brian Locklear of Boston College and Erik Blumenkranz of Yale University.

“I thought Evan had a good weekend as well, beating a good player from Yale in his first match,” Cohen said.

The singles success did not carry over to doubles play, where the Bearcats struggled. So far, Binghamton has not been able to find their way in doubles matches this season. With a sub-.500 record in doubles, the Bearcats need to look to improve their on-court chemistry.

“Doubles is something we need to work on as we move forward,” Cohen said.

The most successful of the several doubles teams Binghamton put forth was the Wong/Levy tandem. The two teamed up to go 2-1 in defeating the Jonathan Pearlman/Charlie Posner team from Brown University and the Connor Dawson/Calvin Bennet team from Yale University.

Looking to build upon their momentum, Cohen and his team head to the Columbia Classic this weekend from Oct. 10 to 12.
