Athlete Spotlight-Guessab

One of three team captains, Guessab won 10 of his first 11 matches at first doubles this season with Rishit Shekhar, including “huge wins against some of the top teams in the state,” according to coach Michael Miller. “Kais is a versatile player who can play both doubles and singles well,” Miller shared. “This is due to his powerful and accurate groundstrokes, consistent serving and [being] a fundamentally sound strategic player.  It’s fun to see him and his partner playing high-level doubles by changing up formations on the fly at the right times to keep his opponents off guard.”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
