Christoph Palmanshofer “This summer Alex was playing the best & Peter Scharler tennis of his life,” Anger said. “He may not totally know that sometimes because he continues to be driven, which is great. The biggest thing for him is to let his best come out naturally rather than try to force it on a given day.”

The second singles spot seems secure as well with Alex Slovic coming off perhaps the best freshman year in Husky history. Slovic finished 2004 as the highest-ranked freshman in the country at No. 27 and was the only freshman on the All-Pac-10 First Team. He led the Huskies in combined singles and doubles wins with 50 and capped it off by being named the ITA National Rookie of the Year. The Huskies expect even better results in his sophomore campaign.

“Where Slovic is going to improve most is just knowing college tennis, and knowing the season, and knowing what it’s like in university life. He’s going to be more comfortable in school; he’s going to be more comfortable in his apartment.
