ARLINGTON, Texas – The UTSA men’s tennis team (2-1) gutted out a road victory on Sunday at the UTA Tennis Center, earning the 4-3 victory over the UT Arlington Mavericks (0-4), with Tiago Torres clinching the decisive point for the Roadrunners second win.
The doubles point proved to set the tone for the day, but the Roadrunners secured the early point despite split courts. On the top flight, Miguel Alonso and Torres opened the scoring with a 6-3 win over Federico Garbero and Yazid Lahjomri. Though the other courts finished near-simultaneously, on three Danijal Muminovic and Enzo Vargas downed Andres Medus and Mattia Ricci to secure the opening point.
In singles action, the Roadrunners fell behind by a point after two consecutive UTA wins, but Ben Chetewy Ungar knotted things up with a fifth-court victory over Lahjomri, 6-0, 6-4. Muminovic pulled UTSA back in front, topping Medus on two with a three-set 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 victory. Again, the Mavs struck for the tie, leaving the final outcome to the top flight, where Torres dug deep after dropping the first set to head off Meethre Barot for the match point, 6-7, 6-2, 6-4.
