TOP QUOTES
Joey Scrivano on the day…
“I was proud of our energy and focus in doubles today. In singles we played well enough but we didn’t compete very well as a team. We were battling with protecting our ego and putting too much emphasis on chasing perfection. Our perspective and mindset need to change in order for us to become better competitors.”
