After pulling a hamstring last May, Zimmerman had to endure an emotionally and physically painful four months before returning to tennis.
Zimmerman, currently ranked as the second best tennis player in the ITCA, initially injured his hamstring in a match last spring. Considering the injury minor, he continued to play on it. Zimmerman further aggravated the injury while playing against top-ranked Matt Sanler (Dartmouth) in the NCAA's.
After aggravating the hamstring, Zimmerman went through almost four months of physical therapy that included acupuncture, yoga and sonograms.
"It was frustrating in that the hamstring allowed me to do just about everything but play tennis. It was a tough injury mentally," Zimmerman said.
Captain Mike Zimmerman, playing in his first match since injuring his hamstring over the summer, won the singles bracket, while the team of Andrew Rueb and Albert Chang won the doubles bracket.
