No. 1 Rancho Solano Prep’s Jaden Litt def. No. 2 Tanqu Verde’s Joel Hetland 6-0, 6-1.

“Mostly, we just stayed consistent. We aren’t the type of people that will get down on ourselves. We keep our spirits up.”—Bartruff

“This is super huge. We’ve been training so hard all season for this. Every practice we’ve just been pushing each other and saying we can take it this year. Like Emma said, we just keep each other lifted up and having fun out there more importantly. We never let anyone bother us and just play our game. That has really worked for us this season.”—Fetsis

“We have a whole ton of chemistry. I’ve been playing with Linus the longest. We’ve known each other since the fifth grade. We’ve been playing in the junior circuit together. We’ve known each other for so long, so it just clicks when we are on the court.”—Sevrain

“There was some pressure for me since we were the defending champs. I focus on my feet, my legs and my hands, and I just loosen up and it feels great. This feels awesome, but it’s a little melancholy, because I don’t know who I am going to play with next year since Jacque is graduating.”—Gino-Griffiths

I am so grateful for my coaches and grateful for everybody who has supported me. It really means a lot.”—Cranford

D-II single boys

Catalina Foothills' Austin CohenNo. 1 Catalina Foothills’ Austin Cohen def. No. 2 Eastmark’s Grady Callahan 6-1, 6-1.

“Last year I was doing online schooling. Two years ago I played doubles my freshman year and won it with my brother. I came back this year because I wanted to win singles. High school tennis is amazing. It’s so much fun, especially with coach Jeffry Bloomberg and all of my teammates. So I wanted to come back and win a title for my school.”

“Dinner’s on me, I guess. He saved me on a couple of points. It’s on me. Whatever he wants. I’m going to say Chipotle.”—Gurijala

D-I singles girls

Boulder Creek's Japneet Kaur (left) and teammate Michelle Bullock No. 1 Boulder Creek’s Japneet Kaur def. No. 2 Boulder Creek’s Michelle Bullock 6-1, 6-2.

“I don’t want to be really loud because she’s my partner and I love playing with her. She has like the best forehand ever. If you hit it anywhere she can crush it from anywhere on the court, and it’s going in the court and it’s untouchable. She’s a really great fighter, and has a great serve too.”—Bullock

“It was very difficult to play against my partner. We play together all of the time, and it’s just really fun. What makes her great is her sportsmanship and the way she plays, like her footwork. She’s just awesome. I play doubles with her, and we make a great team.”—Kaur

D-I singles boys

No. 3 Rincon’s Vikram Narendran def. No. 1 Mountain Ridge’s Lincoln Baldonado 7-6 (7-3), 6-1.

“I was down 2-5 in the tiebreaker, and came all the way back. I was like, ‘At this point I’m just going to risk it. I’m all in.’ So I just went for whatever I could, took all of my chances and with a little bit of luck I was able to pull it out.”—Narendran

D-I doubles girls

Xavier’s Danielle Dyer (left) and Belani SotoNo. 2 Xavier’s Danielle Dyer/Belani Soto def. No. 1 Desert Mountain’s Chae Rin Youn/Hannah Fitzgerald 6-3, 3-6, 10-4.

“It means everything. It means a lot. We’ve been playing together all four year. We’re like best friends. This feels really good.”—Dyer

D-I doubles boys

Brophy Prep’s Ken Akiyoshi (right) and Ryan ZerbibNo. 1 Brophy Prep’s Ken Akiyoshi/Ryan Zerbib def. No. 3 Hamilton’s Rishabh Bendre/Shravan Pulicherla 6-1, 6-2.

“I played with (former doubles champ) Andre Johnson two years ago and lost in the finals. This year, with Ryan, we were playing great. Being the first seed, it was tough playing with the pressure of having the first seed. But it was great. We did what we could do and had a couple of moments that were super nervous, but we pulled it out. We played our tennis and it was great.”—Akiyoshi

“I think it’s just our chemistry. That’s why we do great. We’ve been playing together all season, and I just think we’ve really grown to be part of each other’s game. We know our plays. We can set each other up super nicely. We just know how to go out there and get the wins.”—Zerbib
