Opponent Notes
The No. 2 UCLA men's tennis team put a bow on an undefeated Pac-12 road mark with a 4-0 win at Arizona Sunday. Having lost back-to-back doubles points on the road before rallying on each occasion, the Bruins looked to get off on the right foot at the Lanelle Robson Tennis Center. They would do just that, establishing leads on all three courts. The Wildcat team of Alejandro Reguant and Jonas Maier would rally on court 2, though, taking five of the final six games from 11th-rankedAustin Rapp-Keegan Smith for a 6-3 victory. The duo of Cressy-Bryce Pereira improved its team-best win total to 15 with a 6-3 win over Trent Botha-Shoti Meparidze to pull the Bruins even and put the pressure on the top court. There, the UCLA tandem of Redlicki-Zhu snapped a two-match spell with a 6-4 win over its top-court counterpart, Igor Karpovets-Aaro Pollanen. With the doubles point already in their back pocket, the Bruins went on to capture five of six first sets in singles play to move closer to the overall win. Cressy once again proved a catalyst to the Bruin success, knocking off Maier on court 5, 6-4, 6-0. The sweep of singles and doubles victories marked the third straight occurrence for the junior from Hermosa Beach, Calif. Smith was next off the singles courts with his 10th singles win in as many dual matches. He has not dropped a set during the streak. The latest, a 6-2, 7-6(5) victory over Filip Malbasic of the Wildcats on court 3, ran the Bruin lead to 3-0. Soon thereafter, another red-hot Bruin clinched the Bruins' 11th straight win as team. Zhu received a challenge from Arizona's Aaron Pollanen on the way to his seventh straight singles triumph, but notched yet another straight-set win, 7-6(2), 6-3.
The No. 16 USC men's tennis team cleaned up a Pac-12 road sweep with a 4-1 victory over No. 33 Arizona State this past weekend in Tempe. The Trojans fired off the opening point with a couple doubles wins before ASU snagged its first point of the match in singles. USC would rattle off the next three singles wins, capped byJake Devine'sclincher, to close out the victory and improve the Trojans' overall record to 14-7 to go with a 5-2 mark in Pac-12 action.In doubles, USC's trusty top-two pairs closed out the first point of the day. The #10 duo ofBrandon Holt and Riley Smithtook out ASU's Geerts/Ruehl with a 6-2 victory at the top spot just moment before #12Jack Jaede and Laurens Verbovenlocked down a 6-3 win over Bolla/Rakotomalala on court two to secure the 1-0 lead for the Trojans. That suspended the court three matchup between USC'sJake Devine and Tanner Smithand ASU's Hannestad/Kirkman, with the Sun Devils in the lead 5-2.In singles action, the Sun Devils would equalize as #72 Benjamin Hannestad held his ground against USC's #84Daniel Cukiermanfor a 6-4, 6-4 decision that snarled it at 1-1. The Trojans would respond with the go-ahead win fromLaurens Verbovenon court two. The junior's 7-5, 6-4 victory over Tim Ruehl got USC ahead 2-1 in the match, and thenRiley Smithpadded out the Trojan lead with a 7-5, 6-3 win over Andrea Bolla at the No. 5 spot. Up 3-1 in the match, USC had just one win to tally to secure victory. That would come from court six, where USC'sJake Devinehad stolen the first set on a tiebreaker and then rolled on through to the clincher with a 7-6 (5), 6-3 decision over Will Kirkman to round out the 4-1 USC win.
