Midd Tennis Nation: Recapping Our 2025 Middlebury Invitational

Our Middlebury Invitational was a great way to begin our year! We had beautiful weather all weekend and loved hosting a fall tournament for the first time at our new facility! Across the five total flights (3 singles draws and 2 doubles draws), we captured three titles. Additionally indicating our impressive depth was that all ten of our competitors in this event posted a win! A solid showing all around, and certainly still a lot to learn and grow from in the moments we did not execute as well as we are capable. We maintain and recognize that it is not how we start the year that means the most, but now we have increased clarity and determination to dial in our collective games to keep rising as we enjoy each step through the season!
