As the weather took an unexpected turn from summer back to winter, we attended a home match of the Scarsdale Varsity Boy’s Tennis team on Monday April 21, 2026. The cold temps and strong winds did not seem to faze the players.

Coach Jennifer Roane explained that the team was in a tough league with rivals like Horace Greeley and John Jay, but doing well. On Monday Scarsdale hosted longtime rivals from Mamaroneck who have traditionally boasted a strong squad. This year was no different, and absent two of their lead players, Scarsdale who was 6-0 for the season, lost their first match narrowly, 4 to 3 to the Tigers.

Senior Jack ReisHowever, there was great tennis on display on the courts.

Playing first singles was senior Jack Reis. With powerful deep balls to the base line he didn’t miss a shot and finished the match 6-0, 6-0 in no time. Rated #60 nationally and second in the NYS High School Tennis rankings he trains at John McEnroe Tennis Academy at Lake Isle, where he added, he will be doing his senior options as well. He is undefeated this season and said that he truly enjoys playing. He is headed to Amherst in the fall, where he was recruited to play tennis.

Another wonder to watch was freshman Ethan Goh, playing second singles. He usually plays doubles with Kaito Tsukamoto, but with two players out that day the line-up shifted and Goh and Tsukamoto were playing second and third singles. Though only in his first year on the team at SHS, Goh had lots of confidence. Using his slice forehand, he defeated his opponent in two sets, 6-0, 6-3.

Kaito Tsukamoto, a sophomore fought hard in third singles, winning the first set 6-2, losing the second 5-7 and narrowly losing the tie breaker 10-7.

Playing first doubles, Junior Charlie Robertson and Mark Ha dominated their match. Robertson had the advantage of height and used his wingspan to cut many shots off at the net. They also scored a two set win, 6-4, 6-1.

Tenth graders Emmet Klingsberg and Nathan Appleman fought hard in second doubles. They played a long match, trailing in the first set, but narrowing the loss to 6-4. Mamaroneck also won the second set 6-4. It was the Scarsdale duo’s first loss this season.

Freshman Ethan GohFreshman Sean Ma and Jeffry Huang teamed up in third doubles. They split sets and sadly lost a third set tiebreaker 10-8.

Next match is away at Horace Greeley on Thursday April 23, 2026.
