Tennis goes back to back

Winning a state title is just another day for the boys tennis team. Ladue may have the perfect formula to make a back to back state titles. The boys team is currently undefeated and was undefeated last season as well. With this streak going, the team will hopefully be able to grab victory again, a feeling the girls team achieved in the fall.

“I think that we will be able to take the team title,” Walsh said. Walsh is the manager for the team. He helps out Coach Margaret Shapiro at games taking, scores and cheering on the team. Walsh was on the varsity team

last year, but after a surgery just before tryouts, he was unable to play.

“The real question is whether or not we will win singles and doubles for individuals,” Walsh said. It’s true with an outstanding 5-0 sweep last year against Priory, Ladue seems like the favorite. However, the team may also have a chance at winning the singles and doubles titles as well. With Amit Kadan and Nathan Chan playing doubles, and Max Chen playing singles, the boys should be able to pull off three more tennis state titles for Ladue. There’s only one team that could possibly stop this force, they’re known as MICDS.

“MICDS is a good team. We will have to play them at districts. With Jai at one and Owen at two, together they make a pretty insane doubles team. They almost beat Nathan and Amit at the tournament of champions last month,” Walsh said.

The doubles duo from Ladue barely beat the underclassmen, with a tiebreaker win of 10-7.

“The boys will definitely be able to handle, it like they always do. I can guarantee Ladue taking home yet another triple crown. We’re ready to make history,” Walsh said.
