2018 Chantilly Boys Tennis - Class 6A State Champions!

2018 Chantilly Boys Tennis Celebration Dinner!

Congratulations to Will Pak for winning the 2018 VHSL 6A State Championship.

Chantilly Boys Tennis is Going to the State Final after beating Oakton yesterday in the State Semi-Final 5-3. The Chargers will now play Frank Cox HS at 10:30 AM at Deep Run HS on Saturday June 9^th for the State Championship.

Go CHARGERS!!

Chantilly Boys Tennis went to Robinson to play in the State Quarter Final on Friday. The Chargers went down 2-4 in the Singles and were faced with needing to win all 3 doubles. The Doubles didn’t start out well either and in all 3 matches they lost their first sets. The match started at 2PM and the temperature was pushing 90 and at 8:30 PM the match had to be called because of darkness. So at this point the Chargers were down 2-4 in the Singles but they had started their comeback with Number 1 Doubles winning the 2^nd set and were up 5-3  in the 3^rd set. Number 2 Doubles also split sets but had not started the 3^rd set. Number 3 doubles started their comeback and had split sets but were tied 4-4 in the 3^rd.

The match continued on Saturday at the Springfield Golf and Country Club with the Number 1 Doubles finishing off Robinson quickly and won the 3^rd set 6-3. Number 3 Doubles went to a tiebreaker in the third set coming away with a 7-6 (7-4 tiebreaker) win. Now tied 4-4 with Robinson, it was down to the Number 2 Doubles to determine the winner. The Chargers # 2 Doubles went up early in the 3^rd set 3-0 and finished it with a 6-3 win. This was a truly epic comeback and  due to teamwork and the determination to win, the Chargers overcame their deficit and put a win in books.

Now on to the State Semi-Final against Oakton. Time for this match still has not been determined.

Congratulations to Will Pak for winning the VHSL Regional Singles Championship. This was a tough match and Will did an excellent job representing Chantilly. Will is the only player from Northern Virginia going to the States. What a great job Will. We will be there to cheer you on in the State Singles Tournament next Thursday at Deep Run High School outside of Richmond. Good Luck!

Also congratulations to Will Pak and Manu Balasubramanian for first of all winning the District Doubles Title and secondly for being the runner up in the VHSL Regional Doubles Tournament.

What a great accomplishment guys. Well done!

William Pak won the District Singles Title and then Will teamed up with Manu Balasubramanian to win the District Doubles Title.

Shaun Ganju snatched up the 3rd place singles position and is the alternate for Singles in the Regional Tournament.

Nice job Chargers! Let's get ready for Regionals!

The Chantilly Boys Tennis Team was named Co-District champs this past week with an identical season record to Oakton!

Congratulations to our Chantilly Chargers with an outstanding regular season. On to the Singles and Doubles districts this week at Centerville and Westfield...

Go CHARGERS!

Chantilly Boys Tennis stepped up for the challenge Friday to deflate Oakton’s sails by handing them their first loss and ruining their plans for an undefeated season. Every single one of our players was involved in one way or another to bring home this great win. From laying everything they had out on the court and playing their hearts out to moving around from court to court to cheer for their teammates.

It worked, and we won!!

Congratulation CHARGERS! You did it!!

The Chantilly Boys Tennis Team wins a big match while missing 3 normal starters. This was a total TEAM effort. All the remaining starters were moved up the lineup and the lower part of the lineup was filled in with players that normally have played exhibition matches.

Shaun Ganju, Akhil Kamalesh, Keith Orr, and Sachin Manivannan all had to move up the line-up and they still produced big wins for the Chargers. Sean Plotnick and Daniel Zhao filled in for key spots at the 5 and 6 singles spots. Thank you guys, that is a tough job!

Congratulations to all the Chargers! This was a GREAT win! Thanks to the entire Boys Tennis Team for stepping up when it was needed! Thanks to all the rest of the team for moving around the courts and cheering for our players, they all really appreciate it!

Congratulation to everyone on our team. What a great TEAM effort!

TEAM SELECTION

1. All players will be observed and attend tryouts for a minimum of two (2) days before a decision can be made if a player will be on the team. 
2. Selection to the team will be based on the following (but not limited to) the following criteria:

- Grades & Academics are extremely important (this is important to you, and to your coaches)

- Attitude

- Cooperation

- Teamwork

- Reliability 

- Tennis skills, technique, strategy and tactics, behavior on the court

- Challenge match results

Potential team members will be evaluated on all of the above plus being on time and contacting the coaches if there are any conflicts.

This is mandatory!

Various drills and short singles matches will be played. Please insure that you are physically fit, because the first week will be tiring and there won't be enough time during the early season to begin exercising.

Tryouts will be held at Chantilly High School Tennis Courts.

Good Luck!

Coach Datta and Coach Sciabica
