University of San Francisco Men's Tennis 2008-2009

If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best

April 19,2008 a day that will not be forgotten in USF Men's Tennis History. On paper it said in the WCC Semifinal Championship round Pepperdine 4 San Francisco 0 but many who were there or even particpated in the dual match realized what a huge step this was for the program against a National Championship contender. Many did not see in the paper Thong Tu going to a 3rd set against the #5 player(NCAA Singles semifinalist) in the country with a (DNF) or Asaf Cohen serving for the first set up 30-0 or even Senior Falko Huettenberger serving for the match at the #5 slot(DNF) not to mention Rainer Nachbauer going to a third set(DNF)as the match was called. It was an old fashioned shootout and after the dust settled Pepperdine showed why they are the Champions as they would go on to win their 18th straight WCC title the next day and go on to the NCAA Round of 16 losing to eventual NCAA Champions Georgia Bulldogs. The Dons look to build upon their 2007-2008 success as the young upstart team will be back having seen where the bar is held.
