Men's Tennis to compete for third place Sunday
April 18, 2009
(San Diego,CA) - San Francisco's Men's Tennis team dropped a 4-0 decision to top-seeded Pepperdine Saturday during the semifinals of the West Coast Conference tennis championships in San Diego. The fourth-seeded Dons will now face either No. 2 San Diego or No. 3 Portland in the 3rd/4th place match Sunday at 3 p.m.
The Waves jumped out early, taking two doubles matches to earn the point. Tommy Tu and Asaf Cohen fell at No. 1, 8-6, to Altmann and Beidas, while Mitch Del Rosario and Torin Ching fell 8-2 at No. 2 to Clarke and Kamel. The third doubles match wasn't played to the end.
Pepperdine secured the victory with wins at No. 1, 2 and 3 singles. At the top spot, Tu fell 6-2, 6-0 at the hands of Altmann before Cohen fell 6-1, 6-4 to Beidas at No. 2. The Waves captured a spot in the championship match with a 6-4, 6-2, Llompart over Rainer Nachbauer victory at No. 3. The fourth, fifth and sixth singles matches did not finish because the outcome would not have swayed the final outcome of the match.
The Dons will wrap-up the 2009 dual match season Sunday as they fight for third place in the final day of the league championship.
