When I decided to transfer here [from Vanderbilt], I was looking for a school with good tennis and good academics. I knew this team was good, and I think we can keep going with this. We can win it for a while.

As we keep improving, we'll get better players as we start to put Penn tennis on the map.

High-school tennis, it was fun, ... but I got more into USTA tournaments because that's what college coaches look for. I'm playing so much outside of school on the weekends, training with separate coaches. It was too much. I had to quit.

I used to play a lot of racket sports, tennis and squash.

But I still don't think we've really turned the corner. This school started in 1958. Let's face it. They've lost for almost 50 years now. One conference championship is not going to change that.

It hurts. He'll be OK. It makes me not want to go back to the school.
