It's a very prestigious tournament and it'll give us a chance to face some top-notch competition.

Competition at the top spot is always going to be closer because every school has that one standout player in the number one position and those players are naturally better. I thought our guys did very well against a good opponent.

Realistically, I think we have a good shot at this tournament. Look at all the close matches that we've played this year. The question is just whether we can get the ball to bounce our way.

Vlad did great. He beat very good players from some of the California schools. I don't put expectations on the guys, but he wasn't seeded, and if you want to look at it from that perspective, he shouldn't be doing that well.

This Tuesday's match is another revenge win that we really want. We lost to them last year and they are a tough team. But we need to come out and be ready to play.

This was a great win for us. We wanted to get some revenge after they beat us 5-2 last season. And starting our season 2-0 is a good way to open the year.

Thomas was just a little off tonight. But I wouldn't read too much into his loss. He's been sick, and that always takes a toll. He's going to bounce back and when it's time for him to win, he'll get some wins for us.

Mike and Gustavo have definitely been a bright spark for us so far. They're clicking on the court and their personalities seem to mesh.

Mike's doing a great job. I'm really happy with the way he's playing right now. He's playing with a lot of energy, he's doing really well and he's only going to get better.
