The No. 2-ranked Emory men's tennis team closed out a three-match road trek with a
Friday afternoon victory over Johns Hopkins. The Eagles won for the fifth straight time and improved to 13-4 this spring following a 6-3 decision over the No. 21-ranked Blue Jays who slipped to 7-2.
Emory had to rally for the win after trailing by a 2-1 margin following doubles. Accounting for the team's point was the No. 2 team of junior Max Renke and sophomore Adrien Bouchet, who battled to an 8-6 verdict over Emerson Walsh and Justin Kang.
The Eagles were solid in singles, winning five of the six matches, four of which were straight-set outcomes. At first singles, senior Aman Manji posted a 7-5, 4-6, 10-3 win over Jeremy Dubin, his 13th victory in 17 outings this spring. Sophomore Jonathan Jemison rolled to a 6-1, 6-1 triumph vs. Scott Thygesen, upping his spring mark to 13-4. Bouchet was impressive in dispatching Austin Gu, 6-2, 6-1, at No. 3 while Alec Josepher was victorious at the No. 5 post, topping David Perez, 6-1, 7-6, for his 12th win against four setbacks. Senior Josh Goodman held down the No. 6 spot, coming through with a 6-2, 6-4, outcome against Aason Carey, his ninth straight and 12th victory this spring in 15 decisions.
