Reigning ACC Doubles Team of the Week wins again
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – UofL men's tennis top-ranked doubles team of Etienne Donnet and Natan Rodrigues earned their 10th win of the season on Sunday afternoon before the Cardinals fell 4-0 as a team to the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders.
The #9 duo first defeated Ondrej Horak and Leo Raquin of Middle Tennessee 6-4 on Court 1. The Blue Raiders quickly retaliated with victories on Courts 2 and 3 over the Cardinals to claim the doubles point.
In singles play, #29 Raquin defeated #33 Donnet to pick up MTSU's second point of the match. No. 76 Will Mayew then fell to Horak on Court 3 in a hard fought 6-4, 7-4 battle.
Rodrigues attempted to hold off the Blue Raiders on Court 2, but #114 Marcel Kamrowski proved to be too much, beating UofL 6-3, 7-5 to clinch the match.
UofL turns the page back to conference action this weekend with matches at #3 Virginia on Friday and at #65 Virginia Tech on Sunday.
