Quaker Notemeal
*The Quakers incoming freshman class looks to be an impactful one, as Tennis Recruiting Network ranked it the fifth best in the country. Adam Bain, Nischal Spurling, and Vojtech Vales are joining the Red and Blue as the highest ranked freshman class in program history.

*The Quakers return senior Manfredi Graziani, who was named to the second team All-Ivy Singles team this past April.

*Graziani enters this season ranked 117th on the ITA Singles preseason poll. Graziani joins junior Aaron Sandler as well, as the pair are ranked 67th in the Doubles poll.

*The Quakers return nearly all of last year's squad, leaving the core of Parashar Bharadwaj, Shaurya Bharadwaj, Luka Butera, Sanjeev Chundu, Justin Chung, Stephan Gershfeld, Matthew Rutter, and Aaron Sandler to follow up on last year's success.

*Rich Bonfiglio returns for his fourth season as head coach of the Quakers' men's tennis team. Bonfiglio led the Quakers to a program-best 21 wins last season, with a record 17 wins coming at home.

*The Quakers reached No. 28 in the ITA rankings, their second-highest ranking ever.
