Senior Oskar Brostrom Poulsen’s first round match was highlighted by a between the legs shot, but he fell to Princeton junior Fnu Nidunjianzan in three sets, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.
The inaugural fall tournament opened on Tuesday with 64 men and women competing in the first round of the singles portion of the champions.
