Gandini played as the No. 1 player for the Dominican Republic in the Junior Davis Cup
OMAHA, Neb. --Â Creighton men's tennis head coach Tom Lilly announced the addition of Alejandro Gandini for the fall of 2021.
Gandini, the brother of recent Bluejay men's tennis player Armando, played as the No. 1 player for the Dominican Republic in the Junior Davis Cup and the World Junior Tennis Competition. His highest ITF ranking is 326. Gandini was also a singles finalist at the ITF J5 Bayamon Puerto Rico in 2019 and earned the doubles championship at the J5 Santo Domingo 2020.Â
"We are very happy to have Alejandro on board for the upcoming season," Lilly said. "I have been recruiting him for a while and have known about his high level of play ever since his brother Armando told me about him a few years ago. He comes from a great family and we know he will work hard to help the team reach new heights starting in the fall."
Gandini is the third newcomer for the 2021-22 season, as freshman Ethan Neil and graduate transfer Casey Ross will also join the roster in the fall. The Bluejays have five returners from this past season, including All-BIG EAST Second Team selection Stratton Brown.Â
