The New York University men's tennis team defeated Hobart College 5–2 on Sunday, March 29, in Geneva, NY.

The Violets dropped the opening point after falling in all three doubles matches.

The No. 1 pairing of Bryan Hui and Niklas von Hellens lost 6–3, while the No. 2 duo of Jeh-Lei Fan and Shido Ito was defeated 6–1. At No. 3, Boris Slesarev and Louis Frowein were edged 6–4.

NYU responded in singles play, winning five of six matches to complete the comeback.

At No. 1, von Hellens earned a 6–2, 4–6, 6–2 victory. Frowein followed with a 6–0, 4–6, 6–1 win at No. 3, while Ito battled to a 6–2, 4–6, 7–6 victory at No. 4. Fan rallied for a 3–6, 6–4, 6–3 win at No. 5, and Slesarev secured a 6–4, 6–3 victory at No. 6.

"Once again our guys showed their grit and resilience," said Head Coach Horace Choy. "We've had a lot of close matches but different people have stepped up and we have won those matches. We were a little flat in the doubles and lost the doubles point. However, our guys bounced back quickly with Louis winning and pulling us even and Boris staking us to a 2-1 lead. Jeh-lei and Nik won almost simultaneously to give us the team win."

The Violets return to action on Saturday, April 11, when they host Haverford College in the Bronx, NY.
