It's been fun to watch him showcase it with some big wins; huge honor to win against a BSU team anytime, and hopefully, they can do it again tomorrow," Bruin head coach Jeff Cero, "Zach and Hunter played some very good doubles to start the day, and Zach battled through a few rough patches to pull out a tight win."
 
What It Means
