PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's tennis team will host the ITA Ivy Conference Masters this week at the Hamlin and Hecht tennis centers. The tournament will take place from October 24 to October 26 and includes programs from all Ivy League universities including Columbia, Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale, Cornell, Brown, and Princeton.

 

* Earlier this week Penn's #117 Manfredi Graziani had great success, making it all the way to the semifinal match of the ITA Northeast Regional singles against Princeton's #18 Paul Inchauspe. He plans to keep up that success going into Friday. 

* Freshman Nischal Spurling hopes to keep his momentum going from his strong showing at the ITA Northeast regional. In singles, he did not lose a set in the first day and made it to day 3 before being defeated by #20 Nicolas Kotzen. In doubles, Spurling and his partner Matthew Rutter made it to the round of 16 before being defeated.  

* Doubles team Vojtech Vales and Shaurya Bharadwaj had great results at the ITA Northeast regional making it to the final match against Delaware's Tobey Lock and Euan Mackenzie. Hopefully they can continue that success into the ITA Ivy Conference Masters.
