Saratoga Springs, N.Y. - A week after the ITA Central Regional Championship, the Big Red headed east to compete in the annual Skidmore Open hosted by Skidmore College. Multiple Big Red have advanced in the flight style tournament, and will continue their runs into tomorrow. Standing out was first-year Arya Ganapathy Kallambella, who advanced to the semifinals in singles and finals in flight B with his partner Chika Nwaozuzu.

The day-long event was filled with action on every court, as apart from Kallambella, senior Nickawn Namdar and first-year Tom Suedmeyer also advanced through the first day of the main bracket, winning in close battles to secure their spot into Sunday. In doubles, Kallambella and Nwaozuzu were the only duo to stay in the main bracket. Andreas Chapides and Wesley Huang won their first match in flight A but fell in the semifinals in their flight, likewise for Aidan Borosko and Kyle Patrick. 

In the consolation bracket, Patrick, Nwaozuzu, and Chapides all reached the finals in their respective flight, winning their first match then receiving a bye into the finals. For doubles, Ishwar Idnani and Nickawn Namdar received a bye into the semifinals in flight D.

Action will pick back up tomorrow, with times to be determined.
