Thompson on Lemon: Preston is one of the biggest fighters I have ever seen. Watching him play is like seeing a warrior enjoying every minute of a battle. He has tremendous heart and I think this asset alone will take him far in college tennis. I see Preston coming in and developing his skills a little and then using the tools he has to scratch his way into our line up. He has improved his serve and with a few other minor adjustments, I expect his game to really take off.
Fall 2005: Did not see any action due to illness.
