The 2019 World TeamTennis began the same way the 2018 season ended — with Miomir Kecmanoviu0107 winning a thrilling men’s singles match to give the Springfield Lasers a win over the Philadelphia Freedoms.
Last year’s match was in Philadelphia and gave the Lasers their first-ever WTT championship. Kecmanoviu0107, then an 18-year-old rookie, was nervous enough he deposited his lunch in a trash can. This year’s match, a 22-20 Lasers win at Cooper Tennis Complex, was lower stakes. Kecmanoviu0107 still battled nerves, but handled them well.
“I was maybe a little nervous tonight, but not too much,” he said.
