EVANSTON, Ill. — Head Coach Arvid Swan announced that Northwestern Men's Tennis will be adding two new Wildcats to their 2021-22 roster, Felix Nordby and Max Bengtsson as part of National Signing Day.
"Felix and Max are two outstanding players who have the talent and work ethic to develop into elite college players," said Swan. "As importantly, Felix and Max are excellent students and have great character. The team, Chris Klingemann and I are all really excited to have Felix and Max join the team in fall of 2021."
Illinois-native Max Bengtsson joins the 'Cats from Winnetka as a member of the New Trier High School team that has finished twice as the runner-up in the state championship. He is currently ranked first in Illinois and nineteenth nationally.
Felix Nordby joins the 'Cats from across the pond, holding the first place ranking in Norway. He also boasts four ITF singles and doubles titles, as well as eight Tennis Europe singles and doubles titles.
The two members of the class of 2025 will join ten returning players after an abbreviated 2020 season, highlighted by a 4-3 win over No. 7 Columbia.
