THOUSAN OAKS, Calif. – Sophomore Axel Geller won the Sherwood Cup on Monday, defeating teammate Alexandre Rotsaert in Monday's championship match.
Geller, the tournament's top seed, won four matches over the weekend. He claimed the Sherwood Cup crown with a 2-6, 6-1, 6-3 over Rotsaert in the title match.
It marked the second consecutive year Cardinal teammates faced off in the tournament's championship match. Tom Fawcett defeated Sameer Kumar in last year's title match.
Geller and Rotsaert teamed up on the doubles side to win three matches and reach the tournament finals. UCLA's Govind Nanda and Maxime Cressy outlasted the Stanford duo, 6-2, in Sunday's title match.
Stanford returns to dual play later this week, hosting UCF on Saturday (Jan. 26) at 11 a.m. at Taube Tennis Stadium as part of ITA Kick-Off Weekend.
