Waterford — The Zuczek brothers of St. Bernard School are back on center stage again.

A year after Alex Zuczek won the 2014 Eastern Connecticut Conference boys' singles championship when older brother Nick was forced to retire down 5-4 in the first set due to an elbow injury, both players won two matches on Wednesday to advance to today's 3 p.m. final at Waterford High School.

Alex, a sophomore and the No. 1 seed, defeated No. 8 Jacob Kowalski of Fitch (6-0, 6-2) in the quarterfinals and No. 4 Willie Dong of Waterford (6-1, 6-2) in the semis.  Nick, a senior and the third seed, cruised past No. 6 Avery Oefinger of Stonington (6-0, 6-3) and No. 7 Parker Skaats of Lyman Memorial (6-1, 6-0).

The doubles final will also be an all-teammate affair after fourth-seeded Mukesh Kurumbail and Sujay Alavala of East Lyme upset No. 1 Matthew Hausman and Samson Herbert of Waterford 6-2, 1-6, 6-2 in the semifinals to earn a spot opposite fellow Vikings Nipun Hewage and Eric Wu. Hewage and Wu, the No. 2 seed, beat No. 7 Dylan Vitale and Mike Gianakos of Waterford 6-2, 6-2 in the other semifinal.
