Brown University’s men’s tennis team lost to Yale University 6-1 in their Ivy League opener on Saturday, marking a challenging start to their conference season. The match took place at Yale’s Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center in New Haven, Connecticut.

Despite a strong effort, Brown struggled to capitalize on critical moments during the match. “We had our chances, but we couldn’t close out the big points when it mattered,” said Brown’s head coach.

Yale dominated in doubles, winning all three matches, which set the tone for the singles competitions. In singles, Brown managed to secure only one victory, with senior player Alex D’Angelo defeating his opponent in straight sets.

The loss drops Brown’s overall record to 3-5 for the season. The team will look to regroup as they prepare for their next match against Princeton next week.
