Choo’s route to the showdown began against La Salle’s Karim Rahimtoola, who only managed to take one game from Choo in a 6-1, 6-0 defeat. Choo then fought to upset Marchetti’s Hokie teammate, tenth-seeded Davor Dupljak, 6-2, 5-6, 7-5 before defeating Josef Novotny of the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, Colgate’s Reed Hagmann, and Dartmouth’s Chris Gonyer all in straight sets...
