The University of Louisville men's tennis team picked up 11 wins on the first day of Notre Dame's Bobby Bayliss Invitational Friday.

"I'm very happy with how the guys competed today," said UofL head coach Rodrigo da Silva. "They played very hard and showed a lot of passion. Most importantly, they played as a team. When one guy wasn't playing, he was always supporting his teammates. I thought it was a good first day."

Six different players posted singles wins for the Cardinals. Juan Paredes defeated Notre Dame's Conor Somers 6-3, 6-2 while fellow sophomore Marcus Sulen topped Michigan States Kazuki Matsuno 6-1, 6-3. Sophomore Alex Wesbrooks also registered a straight-set victory with a 6-1, 6-4 decision against Wisconsin's Daniel Nuzhny. Freshman Matthew Fung bested Denver's Ignacio Crespo 6-1, 2-6, 1-0(3). Sophomore David Mizrahi beat Western Michigan's Jack Randall 2-6, 6-2, 1-0(2) and freshman Randy Wilson outlasted Cleveland State's Nicol Mostardi 3-6, 7-6(3), 1-0(9).

The Cards tallied five doubles wins with the duo of Matthew Fung and freshman James Bell collecting a pair of wins against Michigan State's Jarreau Campbell and Kazuki Matsuno 6-4 and Western Michigan's Peter Kuszysnki and Jack Randall 6-2. Junior Tin Chen teamed with Wilson to beat Nebraska's Victor Lozano 7-6(5). Sophomores Sergio Hernandez and Fabien Salle beat the Illinois duo of Lucas Horve and Alex Bancila 6-4. Senior Fredrik Moe and Fainblum topped Notre Dame's Andrew Mariados and Conor Somers 6-3.
