Fall Comes To A Close At Duck Invite
November 14, 2021 | Men's Tennis
EUGENE, Ore. -- The Huskies finished up the fall tournament season on Sunday at the Duck Invitational, with freshmen Nedim Suko and Rikuto Yamaguchi each reaching the singles semfinals at Oregon's Student Tennis Center.
The new Huskies came up short against much more experienced Oregon players on their home courts in Sunday's semis. Suko dropped a 6-1, 7-5 match to 90th-ranked Joshua Charlton, a fourth-year player. Yamaguchi had a 6-3, 6-1 setback today against third-year Duck Jesper Klov-Nilsson.
The only other result was a back draw match for Jack Pulliam, which he took in straight sets over New Mexico's Rafael AbdulSalam.
