PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR, RUNNER-UP: Jonathan Chu, NCAA Tournament

By Rebecca A. Seesel, Crimson Staff Writer

This spring marked the first time in co-captain Jonathan Chu’s tenure that the men’s tennis team didn’t make the NCAA tournament—so Chu just made the singles and doubles draws count for extra.

The senior enjoyed a miraculous run, advancing to the Final Fours of both tournaments. He knocked off Kentucky’s No. 3 Jesse Witten and came within two games of beating the nation’s top player, Baylor’s Benedikt Dorsch. In the semifinals of the doubles draw, Chu and freshman Ashwin Kumar came within the same margin of defeating the nation’s best duo.

“He’s made his mark on Harvard history,” Kumar said.
