LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville men's tennis team opened their 2018 fall season on Friday with seven wins at the Vanderbilt Commodore Scramble in Nashville, Tenn.
"We were a near perfect 7-1 today at the Vanderbilt Invitational," said UofL head coach Rex Ecarma. "The seniors were all 3-0. Both doubles teams are now in the semifinals. Brandon and Fede are in quarterfinals of the A Singles division, and George is in the quarterfinals of the B Singles division. The highlights today were Brandon grinding out a very physical singles match and how confident both doubles teams played in their second matches."
The doubles team of Brandon Lancaster and George Hedley picked up two wins on the day, first defeating Jake Munns and James Roelotse of Furman 6-3 in the opening round. The duo then picked up a victory in the quarterfinal round, downing Tennessee Tech's Rafael Tosetto and Fanis Kontopoulos by a mark of 6-1.
Fabien Salle and Federico Gomez also went two-for-two, winning by a score of 6-3 over Jorge Ortegon and Pable Caffarena of Lipscomb. They will be moving on to tomorrow's semifinals following their 6-1 rout of Tennessee Tech's Riku Kubota and Elia Grubert in the quarterfinals.
In singles, the Cardinals earned three wins. Gomez recorded a dominant 6-0, 6-0 victory over Hendrik Inno of Belmont. Hedley also won in straight sets, topping Alex Steryous of Furman 6-3, 6-2. The Cards' final win of the day came from Lancaster, who defeated Tosetto 6-3, 5-7, 6-4. Salle fell in a hard-fought 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 decision to Munns.
The Cards will be back in action tomorrow at 9 a.m. for the second day of the Vanderbilt Commodore Scramble.
