Men’s Tennis Sends Four to Ivy League Qualifier Tournament

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard men's tennis will return to action in Philadelphia, Pa. this weekend as it sends four players to the Ivy League Qualifier Tournament.

What to Know

This tournament will serve as a qualifier for the ITA Conference Masters being held Friday, November 7 through Monday, November 10 in San Diego, Calif. The winners of the singles and doubles draw will advance to the tournament in two weekends and battle for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Each Ivy League squad will send four singles players and two doubles teams to compete in Philadelphia this weekend.
Rohan Murali, Nathan Blokhin, Masato Perera, and Valdemar Pape will represent the Crimson in the tournament this weekend.
Murali has recorded seven wins so far in the young season including two as the No. 6 seed at the ITA New England Regionals. The junior's weekend came to an end after falling to his teammate, Blokhin, in a three-set battle.
Blokhin's first collegiate appearance was strong as he rattled off three victories to advance to the quarterfinals at the regionals as an unseeded player.
Perera has continued his consistent play across both singles and doubles play having recorded four wins in both so far this fall.
Pape has looked dominant to open his senior campaign posting records of 6-1 in singles and 4-1 in doubles. The Denmark native advanced to the quarterfinals at the ITA New England Regionals two weekends ago and was a perfect 3-0 at Chowderfest, to open the fall.
