Dawgs Drop Tight One In Tempe
April 07, 2023 | Men's Tennis
TEMPE, Ariz. β Cesar Bouchelaghem moved to 17-0 on the season and Nedim Suko earned a three set win, but Washington's rally from a 0-3 deficit at Arizona State came up just short, with the Sun Devils completing a 4-2 win. Washington's Jim Hendrikx led on the remaining court at the Whiteman Tennis Center when ASU clinched.
Β
The Huskies dropped the doubles point and Arizona State added straight set singles wins at No. 1 and No. 6 before UW began to tighten things up in the middle of the singles lineup. Bouchelaghem won his 22nd-straight match going back to the fall, defeating Jacob Bullard, 7-6, 6-3, at No. 3 singles, to start the rally.
Β
Dzinis Zharyn lost his first sets at No. 2 singles, but won his second set to force a decisive third. Suko also split his first two sets and was early in a third at No. 4 singles. Meanwhile, Jim Hendrikx was up a set and even late in his second set at No. 5 singles. Washington would need all three to get their second Pac-12 win.
Β
Suko was down early in his third set to Constantinos Koshis, but rallied back in front, 5-3, and won when his opponent was penalized for a dispute. That made it 3-2, ASU.
Β
Zharyn had an early 3-1 lead in the third against Max McKennon, but the Sun Devil broke back and took the lead. McKennon held for 5-4, and then broke in the next game to clinch the match.
Β
Hendrikx had taken his first set in a tiebreak over Roi Ginat, and was at 5-5 in the second set when the match was suspended.
Β
The Huskies will face a big challenge on Sunday as they visit 12th-ranked Arizona for a 12 noon match.
