DURHAM – In the first of two dual matches on Sunday for No. 20 Duke men’s tennis, the Blue Devils dropped a 4-3 decision to No. 16-ranked Harvard in Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center.
 
Duke suffered its first dual loss of the season and shifts to 2-1, while the Crimson improve to 2-0 after besting No. 21 N.C. State on Friday night, 4-3, in their season opener.
 
How It Happened

  • Sunday afternoon’s double point was a battle from the start. The Crimson claimed a 6-1 victory on court two after Henry von der Schulenburg and Harris Walker bested Garrett Johns and Pedro Rodenas for the early advantage.
  • The final two matches in doubles play were knotted at 6-6 and needed a tiebreak to determine a winner. Unfortunately, the visitors secured the doubles point when they outlasted the Blue Devils on court three, following Steven Sun and Ronan Jachuck’s 7-6 (6) victory over Faris Khan and Niroop Vallabhaneni.
  • The match between No. 49 Michael Heller and Andrew Zhang against Daniel Milavsky and Valdemar Pape went unfinished at 6-6 with Duke holding the 2-1 edge in the tiebreak when the match was halted.
  • Sophomore Jake Krug quickly evened the score at 1-1 in the overall match when he began singles action with a 6-1, 6-4 win on court six over Pape.
  • The Crimson responded with back-to-back victories to pull in front 3-1. Sun defeated Khan 6-3, 6-2 on court five before No. 22 von der Schulenburg recorded a 6-4, 7-5 victory over No. 101 Zhang on court two.
  • The Blue Devils continued to battle after No. 84 Rodenas cut into the Crimson lead at 3-2 with his third dual win of the year. The rookie from Madrid, Spain, bested Jachuck on court three in tiebreak fashion 6-4, 7-6 (3).
  • Unfortunately, the visitors claimed the final point needed on court four to secure the overall win. Connor Krug dropped his first set, 6-1, to Milavsky, but fought back to post a 7-6 (5) tiebreak win in the second. With the match coming down to the outcome of the third frame, Milavsky outlasted Connor Krug, 6-1, to record the win.
  • The Blue Devils received one final victory from No. 4 Johns over No. 46 Walker on the top court. The senior claimed a 6-4 victory in the first set but dropped a 6-4 decision in the second, forcing a third and final frame. The Atlanta, Ga., native rebounded for the 6-2 win to secure Duke’s final point of the match. 

Notes

  • Harvard now owns a 14-2 edge on the all-time series.
  • Jake Krug and Rodenas remain unbeaten in singles dual action on the early season.
