He isn’t called the Grand Slammer for no good reason. Known for the power he possesses on both sides of the court, Scherl is a force to be reckoned with. Scherl was an extremely dominant college player, undefeated in his last 3 years at Harvard while capturing three-team National Championships and captaining the team his senior season. He also set the record for most individual wins in Harvard Men’s Squash history with a 58-3 overall record. Instead of playing the pro tour after graduating, Scherl decided to move to New York and get a real job but could have easily launched a career in standup comedy if he wanted to. He is easily the funniest guy at any dinner party.
