ROME, Ga. - Sibi Raja overcame a slow start in the first set to come from behind and win a 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 decision over Yuval Goodman of Skidmore on Thursday in the opening round of the ITA Cup at the Rome Tennis Center. 

With the win, Raja advanced to the quarterfinal round where he will fell to top-seeded Drew Goldman of Pomona-Pitzer 6-3, 6-4. Goldman also defeated Raja in the ITA West Regionals in Claremont two weeks ago. 

The opening round win secures All-America honors for Raja in singles after advancing a round. Raja and Henry Wilson earned All-America honors in doubles a year ago by winning the ITA West Regional, while this marks Raja's first All-America honor in singles.

Wilson and Kristian Sharma fell in the opening round in doubles to Tufts, but the duo had already secured All-America honors for 2026-27 with their ITA West Regional win two weeks ago.
