PRINCETON, N.J. - Bernard Tefel and Sinan Orhon will play for the championship in the Flight A Doubles bracket at the Farnsworth Invitational after the pair defeated teams from St. John's and Middlebury on Saturday. In the quarterfinals, they handled Alan Nunez and Igor Maslov of St. John's 8-5, then dispatched with Lubomir Cuba and William de Quant from Middlebury, 8-6. On Sunday, they will face off with Rian Pandole and Michal Rolski of Columbia for the flight title.

Orhon also advanced to the semifinals of Flight B Singles before falling to Lars Schouten of Marist, 7-5, 6-4.

Orhon and Tefel will attempt to finish where their teammates came up just short after Xandy Hammitt and Balaji Lakshmanan were topped in the finals of the Flight C Doubles, 8-7 by Jimmy Wasserman and Noah Agarwal of the host Princeton Tigers. The Drexel duo had defeated pairs from Monmouth and Middlebury earlier in the day.

Besides Tefel and Orhon, the only remaining Dragon in the Farnsworth Invitational draws is Hamza Laalej, who will take on Kyle Schlanger in the semifinals of the Flight A Singles Consolation draw on Sunday morning. The winner will take on de Quant in the final at noon.
