District 1 doubles >> The Upper Dublin duo of Daniel Duan and Scott Schlackman were one match away from qualifying for the PIAA Championships.
Unfortunately, they ran into a buzzsaw which was Conestoga’s No. 2 seed of Rohan Rao and Aaron Sun in a 6-1, 6-2 defeat.
The Upper Dublin duo went 3-2 in the tournament, starting it off with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Perk Valley’s Henry Ye/Evan Bolton.
Next up was WC Rustin’s Sam Page and Rowan Degnan, which was a gritty 6-4, 7-5 win.
Unfortunately in the quarterfinals, they drew the eventual champs of Downingtown East’s Abhiraj Srivastava/Abhineet Srivastava, which was a 6-2, 6-1 defeat.
“Daniel Duan and Scott Schlackman played extremely well,” Cards head coach Lora Ball said. “They were steady and dug deep. Semis included seeds 1, 3, 7 and an unseeded CB East. It may have been a different outcome for UD if they didn’t play both 1 and 2 seeds.”
Duan and Schlackman then went into the back draw, defeating the No. 4 seeds of Shrihan Madam/Adi Shankar of Downingtown East 6-4, 6-3. Next came the fifth-place match, which didn’t go Upper Dublin’s way.
East’s Srivastava and Srivastava took home the title with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Unionville’s Andrew Poprik and Andrew Ou. More locally, CB East’s duo of Yevgan Kuryanov and Alex Knyazkov took third place with a retirement over Lower Merion’s Stoyan Angelov and Adam Lee.
It was quite a season for Upper Dublin’s Schlackman, who was the SOL Liberty champion in both singles and doubles.
