Harshith and Shashank Pennabadi are your state Tennis champions.
The Ward Melville brothers defeated Jack Reis & Sam Saeed of Scarsdale 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 to win the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Doubles Championship.
When you talk about their lineage and their dominance throughout their careers it seems almost impossible to imagine anything but a title from the duo, but they have some struggles along the way. The brothers lost in the finals of the Suffolk County Individual Championships and had to settle for a 7th seed, which made their tournament run even that more difficult, but they prevailed.
It looked like they might have some issues again as they fell behind early, before turning it on and taking the match. This will be Harshith's last match in high school and he completed it by lifting a trophy with his brother. He has said that he always told his brother that they would play doubles together and ended it in championship fashion.
