And in this particular year, the Crimson is good. It took less than an hour for Harvard to solidify the doubles point, dropping only five games in the three matches.
The second duo of senior Mark Riddell and co-captain David Lingman—who clinched the all-important doubles point for the Crimson on Friday in a tiebreak—were first to finish, blanking the Bulldogs 8-0.
The clincher came when the third-seeded pairing of Chiou and junior Martin Wetzel won 8-2. The top duo of sophomore Brandon Chiu and junior Jonathan Chu, now a perfect 6-0 in Ivy play, were last and completed the doubles sweep with an 8-3 victory.
Following the doubles dominance, Harvard needed just three singles victories to clinch a win, a share of the Ivy title, and an NCAA bid. And it didn’t take long to secure all three.
Chiou finished right behind Wetzel, his 7-5, 6-4 victory all the more satisfying following his doubles and singles losses in Providence just two days before.
