No. 24 Tars Take Down No. 21 Wayne State

WINTER PARK, Fla. (March 11, 2022) – The 24th-ranked men's tennis team took down another top-25 opponent on Friday, besting No. 21 Wayne State 4-3. The win moves the Tars to 6-3 on the year, while the Warriors fall to 9-3.


COACH'S QUOTES:
"This matchup looked tough on paper and honestly they gave us all we could handle," Head Coach Jay Friedman said. "A few key guys stepped up really big as the lights came on. After a very contentious doubles point where Charlie and Mo stayed sharp to the end to clinch it, we dropped all three matches in the middle and the first set on court six. Efe came ready for a battle and saw it through, and despite being down early, Denis solved the riddle when the score got tight to pull ahead both at the end of the first set and to finish off the match giving us a 3-3 match with Mo left playing. Really proud of Mo for keeping his composure, sticking to the game plan, and executing to put us on top!"

HOW IT HAPPENED:
Doubles
  • Efe Comu and Mikkel Baumann got the first win in doubles on court one, defeating Dom Spicer and Luke Laws, 6-2.
  • On court two, the 22nd-ranked tandem of Daniel Grey and Cedric Drenth was able to come out on top, besting the 20th-ranked team of Denis Golubev and Andrea Brignacca 6-3 to tie up the doubles matches.
  • The doubles point came down to court three, where Charlie Putrino and Moritz Stenzer were able to earn a 7-6 (5) win over Niklas Karcz and Ben Lakeman, securing the doubles point and a 1-0 lead for Rollins.
Singles
  • The Warriors got the early jump in singles, picking up wins on courts three, five, and four to take a 3-1 lead in the match.
  • Needing to sweep the remaining singles matches, Comu was able to stave off Grey on court two, 7-5, 1-6, 6-1, to keep the Tars alive.
  • Fourth-ranked Golubev then finished off 63rd-ranked Spicer on court one, 7-5, 6-3, tying the match 3-3.
  • It all came down to court six, where Stenzer had lost the opening set to Laws, 6-1. Stenzer battled back to win the second set, 6-4, and he clinched his match and the overall match with a 6-3 win in the third set.
