THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Nick Brochu
- On the Sébastien at ITA Regionals: "It was a rough day today. It started with Seb [Collard] in the main draw. He was giving everything he had but he was just toasted. He was just tired. It was his fourth match in three days and it's really tough when you have to play in qualifiers and then play in the main draws. His opponent was fresh but he fought hard. It was unfortunate but he's going to be ready for tomorrow. He's drinking a lot of fluids and will be ready to go.

- On the consolation matches: "Louis [Delcour] pulled out a big one in three sets and Max [St-Hilaire] also won indoors. Javy [Montoya] dropped a close one in singles and it was a really close match."
