ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH ANDREA CALIGIANA
"Today's match doesn't take away what Leo has done this week and the whole semester. What an impressive run. He beat and played very closely the best players in the nation on a consistent base. His resilience is extraordinary. Every match he played was three sets and around three hours. Leo is very coachable and has been training very hard. It was nice to see what these things do. Now his self-confidence is growing and that is helping his tennis a lot. I am excited to see what he can do in the spring!"
