(Tiburon,CA)
USF Sophomore Thai Tu came up on the short end Saturday afternoon losing an incredibly close match to Australia's ATP #250 Nick Lindahl 4-6,7-5,7-6(6) after holding match points. Tu who is a transfer from Cal Berkeley looks to play at the #1 spot for the Dons this year as did his brother Tommy Tu c/o'09 who graduated this past spring. Tu and Lindahl traded baseline shots and rallys from corner to corner. Tu was serving for the match in the second set at 5-4, third set at 5-4 holding match point, and having match point in the 3rd set tiebreaker at 6-5. Lindahl an experienced seasoned ATP Pro at 21 who has played mostly Challengers during his career participated in this year's Australian Open and more recently won the Seascape Challenger this past July in Aptos,CA.
