The Jonathan Law boys tennis team recently finished the regular season with a 7-13 record. 

The team has gone through a rebuilding season loosing many seniors and getting a brand new coach. 

“We finished the season 7-13 and missed out on states by one win,” Wood said. “Our goal was to qualify for the state tournament and we fell short with a loss against Wilbur Cross 4-3. It came down to the wire. We put ourselves in a position to make it after playing a very challenging schedule.”

The team met their goals and persevered throughout all their matches.

“We met our goals because of the way we left it all on the court,” Wood said. “Junior Jon Uruchida was playing in the final match and was cramping up in that final set against Cross and gritted it out. It was a good first season and we hope to build upon what we did for next year.”

Senior captain Rishabh Nair said he enjoyed is final season on the tennis team. He is the team’s lone senior this season.

“As a captain, although I did help my teammates improve overall during practices, I do wish that I could have spent more time with individual players, especially the newer players, to help improve their game,” Nair said.

Nair was the team’s #1 singles player this season and sophomore Dean O’Donnell played #2 singles.

The team improved day by day after every match and practice learning more about each other’s playing styles.

“By the end of the season we had gotten more practice and me and my doubles partner had learned to communicate better as well which makes a huge difference at the end of the day’, junior Arshaq Ahmed said.
