The duo of Choo and sophomore Jonathan Chu, which entered the weekend ranked No. 24 in the nation, went 2-0 on Friday. The tandem was the Crimson’s most consistent doubles team last year.
“I think the coaches were pleasantly surprised,” co-captain Oli Choo said. “The weekend showed that we could be successful with a lot of different doubles combinations.”
Harvard went 16-5 in singles and 11-4 in doubles while facing nationally-ranked opponents from Brown, Northwestern, Purdue, Wisconsin, Michigan and William & Mary.
Inclement weather forced the Crimson to play four rounds of doubles indoors on the first day, when the squad when 9-5 overall. Most notable for Harvard was junior Mark Riddell, who posted four victories with four different doubles partners.
Riddell was undefeated for the entire weekend, going 3-0 in singles and picking up another doubles win on Saturday with junior Cliff Nguyen.
