Boys tennis nearly shuts out Walter Johnson 6–1

By William English

The boys tennis team (5–2) defeated the Walter Johnson Wildcats (3–3) 6–1 on Wednesday afternoon.

Whitman bounced back from Monday’s defeat with a dominant performance across the board. Senior Noah Baudoin led the way for the Vikes with a 2-set victory of 6–3 and 6–1 in his singles match. Sophomores Tim Nickerson and Ryan Graf took control in their doubles match, winning with scores of 6–1 and 6–2.

Whitman will hope to carry this momentum into the Battle of Bethesda against the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Barons (1–4) Friday afternoon at 3:30.
