Box Score SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY (October 8, 2023) -- The Tufts University men's tennis squad finished action as a squad in the fall on Sunday afternoon at the 2023 Skidmore Invitational. 

In the top draw, Derin Acaroglu dropped his semifinal matchup with Ethan Green of Denison University 6-3, 6-2. In the "A" backdraw, Alex Ganchev knocked off Anirudh Reddy of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps 6-0, 6-1 and Javier Gonzalez bested Skidmore's Yuval Goodman 7-5, 6-4.

In the biggest finish of the weekend for the Jumbos, Ganchev and Djokic breezed through the "B" doubles draw to earn a spot in the finals. In the semifinals, the pair defeated Finkle and King of Skidmore 8-3, taking on teammates Gutierrez and Gonzalez who had earlier defeated Gromley and Payiavlas of Denison.
