Call him Saint Nico.
And call Saint Andrew’s first singles senior stud Nico Snyder a Triple Crown champion.
After St. Andrew’s captured the state team tennis title Thursday in Seminole County, Snyder, who stands 6-foot-8 and owns a blasting serve, wasn’t done compiling hardware.
On Friday, Snyder went on to win the state individual singles championship and the state doubles crown with partner, with Julian Fente at Sylvan Lake Park.
“It’s a great feeling being able to win all those matches,’’’ Snyder said via phone on the bus ride back to Boca Raton. “Nine matches in three days. Once you get to the point when it’s so close and team is pushing you, it feels great to be able to accomplish it. It wouldn’t have been possible without having the whole team behind my back, cheering me on every point.’’
In the singles finals, Snyder defeated Bradenton’s Prithvi Sudhaker, 6-4, 6-4 in temperatures that topped 90 degrees with the heat index.
One for the thumb: St. Andrew’s boys tennis extends dynasty with another state title
