Athlete of the Week: Mark Fallati ’18

October 6, 2016

What he’s done:

This past weekend at the ITA Southeast Regional Tournament, the junior put together an impressive run. He made it to the semifinals in both the singles tournament alone and the doubles tournament with partner Josh Powell ’18. As a whole, Fallati amassed a 7-2 record that included wins against Washington & Lee, Mary Washington, and two wins versus Johns Hopkins.

When did you decide to focus on tennis?

I took up tennis when I was six, but wasn’t serious about it until middle school.

How does it feel being the reigning Centennial Conference Player of the Year?

It’s super cool being in the same breath as some of the far superior athletes at Swat and in the conference, but nothing matters as much as getting Swarthmore to be the 2017 Centennial Conference Champion.

Favorite Dance Move:

The Stanky Leg. Ask me to do it anytime.
