Bronco tennis player, Maxime Heerinckx (MH), has found early success in his new tandem on the court, though the freshman admits that there is still more work to be done.  Santa Clara Broncos (SCB) caught up with Heerinckx  to discuss his transition from high school to Division I tennis on the Mission campus.      

SCB: After the first weekend, you are 2-0 with your doubles partner, junior Michael Standifer.  What do you attribute your early success?

MH: Coach Mills told us over Christmas break that there was a possibility that we would be playing doubles together. Since both Mike and I are local, we spent a lot of break playing together and learning each other's style of play. Furthermore, we both went to the same high school (Bellarmine College Prep) and played on the tennis team there, so we were used to each other already. Additionally, the coaching staff has done an excellent job of improving our doubles play.
