Washington Falls in Close Match at Pepperdine
March 24, 2019 | Men's Tennis
MALIBU, Calif. --- Despite putting up an impressive fight, Washington dropped a non-conference match at Pepperdine Sunday afternoon in a contest much closer than the final score of 4-0 would imply.
Β
Washington (5-10 overall) dropped a pair of excruciatingly close matches to the Waves (6-8) including one in the tiebreaker in losing the doubles point. Then after a pair of straight-set singles losses, the Huskies had two matches in tiebreaker and were leading in one other when the match ended.
Β
The Waves were able to pull out the doubles point by winning a pair of extremely close matches at #2 and #3 doubles. Jack Davis and Piers Foley easily pulled out the win at #1 doubles, breaking a 3-3 tie by winning the final three games for a 6-3 victory. Ewen Lumsden and Adam Torocsik battled hard at #3 doubles, matching their Pepperdine opponents point for point. With the score tied at 5-5, the Waves were able to break the Huskies, then held on for a 7-5 win.
Β
With the doubles point still up for grabs, the #2 team of Kawika Lam and Enzo Sommer fought back from a 5-3 hole to tie things at 5-5, then after dropping the next game, forced the tiebreaker after tying it again at 6-6. But the Waves jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the tiebreaker and won the doubles point with a 7-2 victory.
Β
Pepperdine took the first two points in singles play with Foley losing 6-4, 6-3 at No. 2 and Davis falling 7-5, 6-3. Ernesto Turegano rebounded from a 6-2 loss in the first set to force a tiebreaker in the second. Despite holding a pair of set points, he was unable to pull out the win, falling 10-8 in the tiebreaker. That victory by the Waves would give them the match, with the rest of the singles matches ending.
Β
Lumsden, who had won his first set 6-2 at No. 5, was leading 5-2 prior to those matches becoming final, but was battling through a tiebreaker in the second set when the match ended. He held a 5-3 lead when the match ended. Sebastian Hawken had split the first two sets at No. 6, winning 6-3 before losing 6-1. He held a 3-2 lead in the third when the match concluded.
Β
Sommer looked sharp in his match at No. 1, twice rallying from big deficits. In the first set, he trailed 4-1, but won the next five games to take the set 6-4. He again trailed big at 5-2 in the second set, before rallying back to tie it at 5-5 and was down 6-5, but up 40-15 when the match ended.
Β
Washington closes out its short trip to Southern California on Tuesday, taking on UC Santa Barbara (7-5) at 11:00 a.m.
