Tigers Tame Talbots
by: Boys Tennis Contributor
The North Allegheny Boys’ Tennis Team opened their 2026 marketing campaign by welcoming neighboring Hampton to the NASH courts. However, it was not a really heat reception for the visiting Talbots because the Tiger netters had been dominant in a 5-0 victory.
Newly minted captain and senior Evan Kaufman bought NA on the board first with an entire dismantling of his 2nd singles opponent, 6-0, 6-0. Shortly thereafter, junior captain Advaita Sircar doubled the lead by taking down his Hampton foe at first singles, 6-0, 6-1. Another captain, senior Adhav Ramadas clinched the match for the Tigers by silencing his third singles adversary, 6-0, 6-0. Normally a doubles specialist, Ramadas didn’t bat an eye fixed when instructed he can be pressed into singles responsibility and his efficiency earned him right now’s Man of the Match honors.
With the result of the match already determined, all eyes turned to doubles to see if a sweep was so as. Making his first begin in a Tiger uniform, junior Ashwin Sudhakar teamed with senior Matthew Kampi to clean their first doubles rivals, 6-0, 6-0. Finally, the returning second doubles tandem of juniors Shivum Telang and Ronit Ginde made fast work of their Talbot challengers, 6-0, 6-1.
Next up, the crew seems to avenge it’s solely common season loss up to now three years as they host perennial powerhouse, Mt. Lebanon, on Tuesday. Match time is ready for 3:30 p.m.
