The Vidal Brothers.
Victorious Vidals
The Globe interviews brothers Angelo (senior) and Andres (freshman) Vidal, brothers on the CHS boys’ varsity tennis team.
Q: What inspired you to start playing tennis?
Andres: My dad is a tennis coach and from a very young age I loved playing tennis.
Angelo: My dad was a collegiate and a pro level tennis coach. You’d think I would want to start playing at a younger age but it wasn’t until around 8th grade that I realized that I wanted to play tennis. [This] was probably a result of being around my dad so much and seeing how the sport affected his life.
