"It was another tough match. Max had a set point in the first, but lost in a tiebreaker. He got down a break early in the second set, but did just a fantastic job of battling back to give himself a chance to win the second. He got a lot out of the match. It was a really good experience for him." - head coach Matt Knoll on Tuesday's match
