Leading the lineup at #1 Singles is sophomore Gabriel Yuan (16), who has been playing tennis since age six after being inspired by watching his dad. For Gabe, tennis is about resilience. “You’re going to have bad days,” he says. “You have to forget about them and move on.” Outside of team practices, he trains nearly every day, either hitting with partners, working on the ball machine, or playing with his coach several times a week. His mindset reflects maturity beyond his years: play hard, stay patient, and don’t let losses define you.

     At #2 Singles, senior Max Laurore (17) brings international experience and leadership to the team. Max began playing at age nine, also inspired by his father, and his standout athletic memory includes representing the Haitian National Team in the Davis Cup. Headed to Howard University to study Political Science, Max balances tennis and academics through disciplined time management. His advice to younger athletes is straightforward and hard-earned: “You get out what you put in.”

     Senior Alexander Camp (17) competes at #3 Singles and will continue his tennis career at Gettysburg College, where he plans to study Environmental Science. Alex started playing at age 12 and credits his development to a mix of family support and influential coaches. His favorite milestone—being recruited to play college tennis—reflects years of structured training that includes lifting, cardio, high-performance clinics, and multiple weekly practices. Above all, Alex values work ethic and mental fortitude, lessons he believes will last well beyond the court.

     In doubles play, senior Jason Lyn-Sue (17) brings consistency, calm, and competitiveness. Jason began playing tennis at age 10 with his family and later rediscovered the sport in elementary school. Now Yale-bound with plans to study Biomedical Engineering, he credits tennis for teaching mental toughness and composure under pressure. His proudest moment to date was winning his first USTA tournament last summer, and he continues to sharpen his skills through private lessons, fitness training, and match play.

     Freshman Brayden Ernest (14) represents the next generation at #5 Doubles. Starting tennis at age 10, Brayden already understands the importance of preparation and balance. He prioritizes schoolwork before athletics and trains multiple days per week with a mix of running, gym work, and match play. For him, this season stands out as a favorite memory—not because of wins alone, but because of bonding with what he describes as “a special team.”

     Junior Erik Wingert (16) plays #6 Doubles and brings infectious enthusiasm to every match. Inspired by his older siblings, Erik has played tennis since age six. He emphasizes health, nutrition, sleep, and focus as key components of his training. Erik believes tennis has taught him patience, resilience, and the value of encouragement—lessons reinforced by a season full of team celebrations and shared success.

     Junior Kyle Joo (17) competes at #7 Doubles and credits his parents for introducing him to tennis at a young age. His approach centers on consistent practice, smart conditioning, and injury prevention. Kyle’s advice to younger players is simple but critical: take rest days seriously and listen to your body.

     Rounding out the lineup is senior Caden Chow (18), who plays exhibition matches and treasures the team culture built over four years. Headed to Boston University’s Kilachand Honors College to study Biomedical Engineering, Caden values the balance tennis has taught him—planning, discipline, and perspective. One of his favorite memories? Taking the “16–0” team photo after an unforgettable season.

     Together, these athletes show that success is not only about individual achievement, but about collective effort.
