In the other doubles match, tennis Team Captain senior Aditya Parmar teamed up with junior Neehath Malisetty, and they won in a very close match. The two won the first round 6-4, but lost to the other team 5-7 in the next game. Consequently, the pair went onto a tie breaker, which they closely won with a score of 11-9.
