PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's tennis team continued play at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Northeast Regionals taking place in Princeton, N.J. this weekend.

Following a Thursday Qualifying Round, Friday kicked off the Main Draw. Freshman Nischal Spurling continued what has been an impressive start to the tournament thus far. Spurling has won all four matches he's played in, with three singles wins and one doubles win. Fellow freshman Vojetch Vales has also racked up three wins so far.

The Quakers went 7-2 in singles play Thursday and 6-3 Friday. They also went 4-2 in doubles play Friday to open what has been a successful start to the tournament so far.

On Monday, the team of Vojtech Vales/Shaurya Bharadwaj advanced to the doubles final match. The winner of this match will get an automatic spot in the NCAA Championships this November

Similarly, senior Manfredi Graziani advanced to the semifinals of the singles portion of the event. A win from Graziani means that he will also be granted a bid into the NCAA tournament.
