• Zhang leaves his mark; Brown wins singles titleMay 26, 2012 12:00 AM

Zhang, who just missed finishing in the top eight in his final trip to the tournament this season, brings the same response from coaches and peers alike, while playing at a high level whenever he takes the court. Long after the University of Chicago-bound Zhang (33-5) was eliminated from medal contention by Peter Tarwid of Lake Forest in Saturday's consolation quarterfinals, coaches who watched the Huskies captain on his final day of prep tennis were quick to comment on one of the top players in this year's field.
