“Inconsistent” is the word that most accurately described DePauw University’s men’s tennis in the spring of 2017. The Tiger’s finished the season 10-10, losing in the final round of the NCAC Tournament.
Six key contributors from that team were seniors, leaving a big hole to fill and a new look for the squad. Junior Alex Bertolini is excited about the upcoming season. “We are a completely new team this year. This is a great opportunity for everyone who hasn’t cracked the starting lineup before and everyone is excited to see what the new season and news guys have in store,” Bertolini said.
The team’s compact fall season should be an exciting preview of what’s to come in the spring.
Best Case: The guys push each other in a battle to start and find themselves in contention yet again for NCAC action.
Worst Case: Their lack of big game experience haunts them as they fall below .500
What to watch for: How this team reacts to adversity, not having very much playing experience.
