SPOKANE, Wash. – The Gonzaga men's tennis team closed out play in the Pac-12 Fall Championship and the Duck Invite (taking place in Eugene, Oregon) Sunday afternoon, ending the busy, dual-event weekend.
To close out the Pac-12 Fall Championship, Nicholas Reeves and Jay Fairclough won their finals doubles match against San Diego State's Aleksi Lofman and William Kleege after the latter pair retired from the match due to injury.
In the Duck Invite, the Bulldogs played in one doubles and three singles matches. Diego Herrera and Tristan Hernandez played against Portland's Tannor Binder and Anirudh Nallaparaju. Herrera and Hernandez were bested by their opponents, ending their match with a 3-6 final score.
In singles matches, the Bulldogs secured two wins from Michael Mitchell and Tristan Hernandez. Mitchell defeated Portland State's Shun Wakino in straight sets after a dominant 6-2 first-set win and a close second set that ended in a tiebreak, 7-6(5). Hernandez made an impressive comeback in his match against Oregon's Russell Soohoo. After losing the first set, 2-6, Hernandez took the second and third sets in tiebreaks, 7-6(4) and 7-6(2), respectively. Diego Herrera also played a singles match but ultimately fell in three sets to Portland's Cade Fernando, 5-7, 7-5, 6-3.
