Coach Ryan Keckley about August Holmgren:
"I’ll be challenged to have another scholar-athlete that’s going to match August Holmgren’s work ethic and love of tennis. I’m talking about over the course of my entire career. His energy and charisma are untouchable. Every practice he makes himself better and anyone who is playing with him better. There is a reason he has been a captain since his sophomore year."
